Children Of The Twentieth Century

Children

laughing and hollering

in the spring sun

travelling on electric scooters

with fast food bags in hand

dressed in brand labels

to fit in with their peers

because being a black sheep

could never do.

Children

with smiles 

on their radiant faces

with no worries

or stresses 

or weights upon their shoulders

because they are young

and deserve the freedom

of living in the Twentieth Century.
