Revisited Innocence

Learning,
Is a never ending ongoing process.
We grow older to learn less,
About the days to have yet come.
Leaving some feeling knowing,
What had been taught to learn yesterday...
Has become overnight useless.
As if one's virginity to have lost,
Has given curiosity another opportunity...
To give up and give away to experience,
Being seduced to something new.

Lessons to learn are no different,
Than a revisiting of innocence.
More hesitant welcomes,
The delaying anticipation.
Especially after one has achieved,
A diploma from high school or college degree.
Becoming certified to have learned,
Something worthy to have earned.
With it to hang in a picture frame.

But everyday without fail,
Nothing stays to remain the same.
Not these days speeding away.
Making the feeling of stupidity,
More common to those rapidly aging.
Doing their best,
To go with the flow.
In their minds to keep up with the times.

First it was a thing called the computer.
Now an antique.
That seems to have arrived on the scene.
Replaced by cellphone.
People today use to make their own videos.
And even movies.
To then put in their pockets as if a wallet.
There's no stopping,
Of these technological advances.
Many change these days an expectation.
Especially for the ones much younger.
Sitting together without words to say.
Although communicating to each other.
Like programmed human robots.
Disturbed by anyone,
Who interferes to ask them a simple question.

It seems these days the ones who have aged.
Are those taking time to remember when,
Innocence pretended...
Had been an accepted expectation.
Today?
Children are bored,
By a downloading their own nakedness.
To share without a care.
And the word 'viginity'?
Is a myth compared to dinosaurs heard,
To have once roamed the Earth.
Looking like huge birds without wings!

'Hi.
Excuse me.
What are you young folks doing.
It looks very interesting.'

'If you don't mind,
We are attempting to find...
Who next to have sex with.
And you...
Apparently,
Have yet to learn...
How to mind your own business!'

'Children are not the respectful children,
They use to be.'

'Go somewhere and smoke a joint.
Leave us alone!
You old people are something else.
Buzz off '

'I...uh...
I'm down with that!'

'LOL...
Good.'
