Those Kids, My Kid Poem by Ragy Sandid

"Just let go
And let them what they want to be
You'll never know
They might be better than you and me

Don't try
To be a super dad
Don't secretly cry
Having a parent is the best they've ever had

They're lost
They'll find you, they always do
They're tossed
On life to do better than you.

You'll never understand
So don't wreck it
Just offer them a lending hand
And respect it"

But how
When I see them soul less
I know now
What they detest

They detest emotion
The very fiber of humanity
They lack devotion
They're anti unanimity

I ask for help
They give me attitude
I take a forward
They recede a multitude

My worry is for love
Where is it?
Why is it shoved
Can it visit

These new younglings
With eyes smacked to a screen
These wanabe starring
Whose soul is mangled to mean

How can I save mine
From this life of false belief
I wish she'd give a sign
So I can suspend my disbelief.
