Damn Society....

Someone ripped away their innocence
and forced them to take advantage
of the simple things in life
and leave the rest behind.
Someone made them different
and changed their point of veiw
made them think that they were superior
to the likes of me and you
Someone made them angry
and took their rights away
to do what they want, when they want
it has to be that way these days.
Someone gave them them dignity
and taught them self respect
They took away their silver spoons
blue skies and full moons...
And taught them the real meaning
of LIFE...
Let's take our children back!

I wholeheartedly agree. I have seen them stand in the middle of the road here and dare someone to run over them. Honk your horn and they will shoot you the finger and tell you go F yourself. Rett: It may look easy, when you look at me, But it took years of effort, to become the mess that you see John Fogerty

The big question is who that Someone is

and how to stop them. Parents are becoming increasingly powerless in the face of Corporate advocated greed through advertising, not just in advertisements but the messages of mass culture. We can fight back. cheers, Jess
