A Mere Illusion
Ironic that strangers
have become my insatiable joy.
Family is still deranged with all their
endless games and ploys.
The talented lay waste to their brains,
consumed with their electronic noise.
Teenage heart throbs
waste away in vain j
ust to appease to the pleasure of boys.
Why must society dish out
such hard pills to take?
Any act of kindness
seems to be followed by all that is fake.
Forsake.
Such a forsaken lot.
They bubble and spew up their brains
till all that is left is rot.
A thought,
It's such a mere illusion.
The beauty in women
just seems to distract
and lead them all in confusion.
Solutions,
what more could their be?
I yearn for the day
our children's' trauma wasn't
the only thing that came free.
