Analysis of Glistening With Stardust



No one can tell fools,
They act as if proud to be seen that way.
They seem to wish and want to prove,
All by themselves...
Fools they are and meant to be.

Like parents these days,
Who refuse to hear...
That their children are rude and disrespectful.
Lacking discipline and unwilling to listen.
As if taught to break rules and disobey laws.

And today,
No one can tell fools,
They seem proud to be seen acting that way.
Even if they should be parents.
Acting less than an adult,
Dressed from head to toe.
As if a child still growing up.

Yet refuse to believe their own children,
Are not angels adorned with wings.
Singing hymns,
While in a playground on swings.
Then shocked not to see,
Halos once to have floated...
Above their precious innocent heads.
Glistening with the ever presence of stardust!

'The schools, teachers,
And books we had not authorized...
For them to read on their level of sensitivity,
Has purposely destroyed,
The minds of our children.
Nolonger remaining the children,
We prefer them to stay that way.
And we will censor anything that interferes...
With what our perception,
Of what a growing up to become an adult...
In 'Our Eyes and Minds' should be!
You got that!?'
