Infant deception in pixels on a screen
Internet's nicotine habit
Drinking knowledge from a media latrine
Following Alice's white rabbit
A rusted circus shinny in the eyes of a child
A slave penny spent
fed to a clown that smiled
Chain broken under a mended tent
Baby skin calloused
Youths scales cut from eyes
Time as ballast
Wisdom a child's lies

It certainly not wonderland.
Thank you for your review and comment it is appreciated.
LOL 🤣 brilliant what magical lies children can make up, and of course the adult too. I found this to be most endearing, I've worked with children all my life. Mountains out of mole hills 🌹
They do indeed friend and sometimes I wonder if they are lies at all but just another way to see reality. Sad that with age the innocence and wonder of childhood becomes jaded and cynical. Thank you so much for the read and comment as always it is most valued
Children are naturally trained to tell the truth so I also wonder if they tell lies at a young age what will they become. 🌹
I have tried to see the world through a childs eyes but sadly, I think I lost it way back .. this post made me think about perception in general a topic that I have long been interested in .. nice one my friend .. Neville
Thank you Neville Indeed perception is the key and I am often amused and intrigued by the perceptions others have. Thanks so much for the review
Now this is spooky - the poem changed from verses to one whole piece, then back again to verses!
Maybe a blip when I pressed the 'like' button?! Good write SB.
It has been doing this to me for some days now and I have to recalibrate my reading each time. Thanks Orchi appreciate it.
Ooh let's all practice a bit of 'recalibrating' then! heehee. A bit spooky?
Powerful and vivid work.
Thanks so much Thomas it is most appreciated.
I don't know where you come up with these jewels but do keep it up. I mean "Drinking knowledge from a media latrine" is just inspired. Nice work.
Thanks Dan your comments are much appreciated and valued.
Strong words soren, if only we could go back to the innocence of childhood it would be wonderful.

Thanks Andy I appreciate your read and comment. I would not want to live those years over but to return to the innocence would be nice.
