Babies

Dismiss the innocence.
Adolescent deviants.
Not daddy's little girls.
Wannabe women of the world.
Babies trying too hard.
Growing up to fast.
Skipping youthful joys for sex toys and piercing's.
...Nipple rings.
...Tongue studs for young buds.
Tattoos before pubes.
Instead of proms and sleep overs, its hangovers and range rovers.
Rollin fatties, smokin trees.
Ending on bended knees to please.
Victims of societies misguided hypocrisies.
Not guiding them through virtue but supplying them too hurt you.
...and me...
With disappointment and sadness.
A madness that keeps getting worse.
I plea, stop the curse.
...and make false this verse.

Technically brilliant! The rhythm as josephus said is
compelling and the word usage very
visual but for a reason :) It's your artistic way of expressing the feelings that you experience when you write about the early death of the inner child. . .The thought frightens me as well.

I fully agree with the content and your perceptions. There are no little girls or little boys innocently and awkwardly moving through adolescence to adulthood any more. From infancy to brutal false maturity with all the attendant scars, hard casing and calluses attached. I feel that they will be so ill prepared to share the wonder of childhood with their children. To future generations great incalculable loss!

Technically, I found the rhythm compelling and the word usage very visual.

Well done

I agree with this too, although i may be in the generation you are talking about. But what you are saying is completely true, the innocense in younger people is shocking......I mean i didnt know alot, i was quite naive about things until i was a bit older, well the age i am now.
My little sister who is 14, shockingly has done lots of things i wouldnt dream of doing at her age, i find it horrible.
So well done! i hope you poem becomes false soon, but i dont think it will :(

Loved it NP, but two typos, 'too' twice instead of 'to'. I agree with the philosophy of your words, it is sickening, what we are doing to your young generation, growing up too fast and losing their innocents in unforgivable. We have the laddette culture in Britain, binge drinking too. Ecxstacy is an accepted norm for most weekend ravers too! All I need is love to energise me and can dance all night. Love your attitude. Smiling at you, Tai
