why do we have to grow up?
why now?

make it stop

why can't we tell jokes about giraffes

and scream on the swings like we used to?

i miss when kisses were just chocolate drops

and my biggest worry was about running out of indigo crayon

when stupid was the worst thing you could say,
and demons were just the older kids who kicked you out of the playground

when all it took were a few building blocks to keep us entertained

and nobody cared if tommy bridger knew the entire alphabet by heart

but grew very angry if he stole the cream from their oreos at snacktime

because in kindergarten, it didn't matter

we were so young.

today we walk corrupted in the soil of sin
where discrimination is more than just a vocabulary word for the spelling bee
and you can bravely ask which disease your uncle died from

a verbal generation, where words tend to make a bigger impact

than actions

and kids think it's okay to smoke the pot

because they saw mommy smiling for the first time when she put the cigarette in her mouth
(they didn't see her lying later on the ground with empty, bloodshot eyes, hair a nest, teeth yellow and cracked)

this is the world we live in now,
and though it may not be the world we want,
it is our home,

and the least we can do is
try and slow the rotting

and we can do this by

bringing back the world
we knew.

remember the simple things.
build each other up instead of tearing each other down.
share your blessings.

smile, and make others smile too.
give a lot of hugs.

and, never ever put rocks in your mouth.
