I take a quick journey on up the road
Things I see make emotions explode
A lofty green meadow is what I seek
Congested construction is what I meet
Six lanes roads blast a once fluttering forest
Middle class homes rise as mountains at best
Standing in playplace of childhood
Woodland games of youth, ever so good
No, not anymore, now industrialized
They say we must be commercialized
No! I say, what will the critters do
They say who needs em, **** fools
How long will it be 'for luscious green's gone
Replaced by business, the new icon
No trees no bushes no grass
Just some corporate ***

As a child
emotions are mild
At least that’s how it should be
simplicity is key

As a child
you play wild
like a dog with a toy

As a child
you experience joy
as you play in the McDonald’s PlayPlace

As a child
you have struggles
as your dad juggles
working fifty to sixty hours a week

As a child
your days are full of sun
mine aren’t as fun

As a child
you smiled
I did not

As a child
my tears were a waterfall
you played with a doll


As a child
your stress ended
mine only bent,
morphed,
changed
into new forms

As a child
life came easy
your days were breezy

As a child
my heart shattered
my heart scattered

As a child
I was left
alone
to pick up the pieces

I still have hope for humanity
It was inspired through insanity
I dug my feet in the sand
I looked around
All I saw was foreign Land
all I did was gaze down
in that crazy place
but it was misplaced
like glaze on a wedding cake
Insanity is the reason we have hope
It’s the only way
We can truly escape
To our childhood playplace
We recreate our delusions
on silver screens

— The End —
