Today

Has anyone ever thought?
What's wrong with today?
Where anything,even love, can be bought.

Where being pregnant at twelve is no suprise.
And abstenince is dead
Where the only punishment kids get these days is highfives?

How about the thought of getting arrested for expressing an opinion?
and not agreeing eith it's every word.
Or even the thought of not being the giverment's minion.

Yet, we sit here and not think something is wrong with today?
