Generation X: Unsealed

Space

And on that 18th day
Conspiracy stopped being
Its ole sinister self
With everybody doing it at
The same time-it then
Became the  
National  
Character;
Chronic, infectious with the
History books,
Classrooms and cosmic markets
Being lobbied-
Underwriting
Sea sides of
Obliging  
Children born to
Shadow parents
Checking in
“Where are you supposed to be today?” but
They didn’t follow up so
People watched kids less
And more back then…
(The things done that would “probably”
Never turn out too favorable nowadays;
No seat belt legislation, no 3rd party
Intermediary necessary forms and
Left unattended underage for hours-
Inside and outside)
Trusted to be on their way-
Not at the promenade,
Not at the fire hydrant,
Not on the safe front where
Pictures narrated that
Cataclysmic passive voice: of an
Obstacle course for
Truth.
Behind the scene takes:
Long and chubby yet
young sadly (happy childhood) toting mature, so
Unable to support ourselves on
Solid ground for that “ideal”
Picture and “some” “a few” or  
Whatever parents  
(banker and police Sargent)
well?
Shadowed,
Physically
Manipulated
(outright/ upfront/ direct)
Their children in photos to
Correct posture, position and
Support them, hold them up;
Leverage them for the
Camera…
Much in the same
Way of a shadow government.
 
That’s it
