Innocent Generations



Innocent generations,
Have been raised to cheer on...
Abnormal behavior.
To accept and normalize,
As a way of life to worship.
Sought to recognize and idolize.

Innocent generations,
Have had their common sense...
Slowly diminished.
To a non-existence.
With each generation accused,
For being the cause of minds unused.
By the ones refusing,
To think independently for themselves!

'How dare you say,
My children are the result...
Of examples I have set for them?
When I followed what was taught to me.'

'I said no such thing.
What I did say...
Was the apple does not fall that far,
From the tree it grows on.'

'Oh.
I apologize.
I thought you were comparing them,
To trees.
And the trees around us,
Are Pine, Oak and Maple.'
