Confidence Lost

By Loneliness is condescending • November 2, 2005 04:46 UTC

Nowhere kids are plying up outside Unaware of the world inside Winding up with soul empty smiles Humble eyes alight with absent compassion Generation raised by TV. Sets Running wild in black boxes of restricted cables Self-prepared to amount to less then failure Kids smile blankly day after day Insightful doctors pass out bottled joy Draining out the resistances Frozen smile Smile now smile always someone’s always watching

*chuckles* i dont mean to make light of this poem for it does have a serious tone but i cant help but at least grin the last line was picturesque, beautiful and sadly true...i remember several time smiling simply cause id been preached at to do so, and we wonder why kids go crazy......
