Nouveau Kids
The kids today have a lot more responsibility,
therefore, some are quite precocious before they are
three,
They refuse to be told what to wear, and have an affinity
for designer gear,
The young ones are quite competent in taking care
of themselves, because their parents are working
harder than ever,
The children have learnt to be streetwise and clever,
Many are latch key babies surviving on their own,
trained in linear directions until they get home,
Only Jesus and the angels know how they fare,
because there are demons lurking everywhere,
Frightened and apprehensive they trudge through their
daily lives, pretending to be all grown up, while the fear
illuminates their eyes,
It's a rough existence for these nouveau kids of the millenium,
so many ogres to run from,
Molesters, Druggers and poisonous substances,
even the games they play to occupy their time, are filled with toxins
and cadmium to destroy their minds.......
