Every opinion is a feast
For a ready made
Come and go audience
Applause available
No matter the wisdom
And we’ve given our kids
Hungry pockets
They carry the world inside
Connection…
Feels less connected
They confuse being seen
For being known
Being followed
For being loved
Being heard
For being understood
Being kind
Kills the algorithm
Being cruel
Drives views
And they get paid
And they feel important
And they feel loved
Because…
We taught our children
That attention is the prize
That those with the loudest voices
Get to buy groceries and pay rent
Children don’t just become
What we hope for
They become
What gets the most applause
HASTYWORDS 
Ouch! But very true!

and because we are, socialized by our external environments to value what we value, we usually pass the same value systems to our own next generations, and unless we realized that our values weren’t set correctly, and change, and set a better example for our younger generations, everything will keep on spiraling downward, and there’s NO ROCK bottom, everytthing just keeps falling down, into the depth of the, abyss!
