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.......
