With so much police brutality it’s a wonder anything is “legal”. Need some excuse for the bullies of this world to get their fix. The state collects citizens’ hard earned federal cotton for the paper with a crime attached, or perhaps isolates you in a room with a john and a bed; probably best to give them all that cotton to avoid the latter! It’s been so long since we’ve been free that we thank our masters for our privilege; check that shit, it may have expired!
When the children are slain for playing and commerce is punishable by death, when suspicion is all it takes to commence harassment; it is not the time to say more rules to break, it’s time to change the status quo. Let us focus on the children: I’ve been seeing a lot of them flooding the internet as survivors of or even murdered. “Unruly behavior” is a crime punishable by force or death in this country; our children do not even get a chance to learn of the consequences before being punished. Of course, they are taught very young to always trust police officers! Police officers don’t kidnap people; oh wait! Yeah. They do. For whatever made up charge they can manage to get away with. Consider yourself lucky you just got a ticket!
They have begun to attack retailers for the recent child shooting; 12 year old playing with a BB gun was shot because his gun was not correctly showing the proper distinguishing orange tip. It is, of course, not the officer’s fault! There was nothing else he could do to apprehend this young child, or get his attention. Fearful bully. We can’t blame the child, a victim of playground bullies dressed in blue, or the parents for not teaching proper imitation gun etiquette or to fear the police as you play, nope, retailers who sell these fake guns are obviously to blame! It can’t be the man who pulled the trigger of an actual gun. Oh no! He was just doing his job protecting and serving and educating the public.
So these fake gun laws are just as absurd as legitimate gun laws. Please paint the tip of your gun orange or else we will shoot you. A little excessive; when did this gang obtain the right to act first and think never?

The year is 1939; children are required to attend the youth programs set forth by their government. If parents objected to this education they were taken away. This educational program taught the youth to be patriotic. They would fulfill training tactics fit for military, obedience was mandatory and they were encouraged to bully to weed out the weakest of them.

Children were obedient to the propaganda the government force fed them, and not to their parents. They were encouraged to spy on their parents and to report to their superiors what was said against them or their leaders. Children were brainwashed. They were not to be trusted. And, worst of all, they had no idea what was really happening.

The year is 2014; children are required to have an education set forth by their government. It is not yet illegal to have your child learn in private or at home; but they can still have them removed from your arms if you neglect to teach them what is deemed appropriate for them. When put into government run schools children are taught to be patriotic, they get warped propaganda shoved at them and, of course, they learn to trust and respect government agencies. Children are taught to obey their teachers, walk in a straight line, how to properly praise the American flag and that being the victim of bullying is out of their control.

Children are subjected to all of this in public education; the Hitler Youth began much like our education system, in 1922, where it was not the only option. The media picks up the slack. So, children, please; if you find your parents’ guns, bring them to school and hand them to a responsible adult for disposal. You just don’t feel safe with guns in your home!

Sitting on the couch I turn to my lover and ask him about his day, he does not even acknowledge that I have spoken. I get to my feet and see that I am surrounded by people on the web based playground. The entire living room is filled with people and nobody can hear me. All ‘tap’ ‘tap’ tapping’ on their phones; their laptops; their computers and tablets. Disconnected, I leave, since nobody can hear me.

I walk the streets, alone, and not a soul is out and about without a screen attached to their face. I get home, walk through the door and there is wall to wall people all on their screens. I climb the stairs to my bedroom, curl up in my bed, finally alone; I turn on my laptop and my bedroom is now filled with all these people.

They can hear me now.

I see a future where the need for parks and sidewalks is diminished; thus replaced with underground subways that nobody uses. The sun will be a memory for we all stay inside; a land littered of buildings, an absence of grass. You will not covet your neighbors garden for they are a thing of the past. A future of isolation; where we all stare at screens!
