I wonder today in a world where depression is so prevelant
Ig our food and drinks are being poisoned by governments
And good producers hungry for profit
I’ve never known an age quite like it.
When I was you over 40 years ago
Depression was relatively unknown
Among young kids who spent all their time a play
We had so very little then unlike today.
Maybe they’re being poisoned by social media
Infecting young minds making them feel inferior
When adolescent kids have body image issues
Then you know there’s something very wrong
Whe kids in pubity dream of transgending
At a time of life when their bodies and hormones are changing
Society should not be promising this way
It should be telling them there’s time so jyst wait
But minds of kids want everything now
And this greedy materialistic society smiles rather than frowns
It makes you wonder if those who supposedly rule
Are treating us all as a bunch of fools
Poisoning our foods
Poisoning our minds
Infecting us all the time
With fear and self doubt
With low esteem and no self love
Maybe we give kids way to much
And maybe as adults we expect and demand to much.
A thoughtful musing and a touch sad. I think we need to have a complete values shift, away from money and external gratification to kindness, compassion, generosity and gifts of the heart. ❤

The age of spin. What the consensus deems valuable is always changing each and every day. There is no more balance in the world the way I see it. Just people looking to make the most impact.
