Wow! I trust your truth and respect your right to share. It does stir up and remind a blind spot that may or may not be purposely nurtured is certain to reveal a naïveté I’m certainly wont to deny . an imaginary refuge where I’m happy to tell myself lies. In My never never land , I’m unjustifiably deceived as all kids are forever safe and all adults protect them with their lives. My heart to you and my best thoughts , all that you said was deeply regrettably unimaginably unfair.

A look at the not-too-distant future. Your poem shows the end result of today\'s trends. The future will be bleak indeed if we do not work together to save it. Some well crafted images show us the darkness ahead. -Phil A.
