I've seen this up close... well captured...

Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, LDF. Means a lot to me. Appreciate you.

Me too Damian, the system now though is kids are untouchable now, no respect for teachers, police, etc... it definitely is harder parenting now to what it was years ago

Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, Pete. I know what you mean, it is tougher. Appreciate you.

I enjoyed reading this because it's unique, especially the subject. It would be interesting to see you put a tune to this, Damian.

Oh, if only I could do that. Only thing is it requires a musician to come in and write music for it, now I know how, Art Garfunkel must have felt. lol I agree with you though it would make a good tune. Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, Tams. Appreciate you.

Interesting subject, well written.
Like the image.

Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, Debbie. It really means a lot to me. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, Shiloh. The boomers do get a lot of the blame. It wasn't as easy to parent when both of them had to work to pay the bills. My parents are boomers, I'm Gen-X myself. We were called the latchkey kids. Coming home to an empty house after school. Forced my generation to grow up faster, and we were pretty rebellious as well. Once again if the government bothered raising wages up to the cost of living.. I'm gonna stop there or I might start ranting. lol Appreciate you.

You know I think about the Jackson 5 and how they were so traumatized
by their father. But I realize it mostly happens in the entertainment industry because
of the money it brings in. Parents do have to be more involved with what happens
behind the scenes. It's like selling your kids to the highest bidder but there are a few exceptions like the Olsen twins and Salena Gomez. Hopefully things are changing in that industry.  
I just checked out that P Diddy just got arrested with 3 felony counts of sex trafficking. WTF!!

 But on the flip side when adults fall prey to users and con artists - look at what happened with NWA!
You have to have instincts and listen to the voices telling you something is off.
You can't just be street smart - you gotta have common sense.  

There's my two cents. Okay maybe 10 but who's counting - LOL

Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, Adelphina. It is unfortunate it happens at all. It is mostly entertainment industry though. My brother is a musician who used to tour a lot, this is loosely based off a story of a manager he worked for. That manager had no talent, but his brother did, and later on his own son would. Let's just say I don't think he's a very nice guy. But yeah from the Jackson's to Diddy it's running rampant. I agree with you totally. Appreciate you.

Well, you did make this lyrical and got all of us thinking. I remember once going to the store and this pretty little girl in a stroller kept saying "Fuck You".
Everyone laughed except me. Why was that funny?
Parents have to be parents and its harder today more than ever. No one wants to advise anymore. there will be a society of toddler adults watching their parents and feeding themselves.
Okay I think with all the change we gave you, you should at least have 5 bucks in your pocket. lol
Nice one Fia xoxo

Thank you for your kind words and continued support, Fia. I agree with you, I mean it happens right outside our doors. There are many "toddler-adults" walking around in present day. Sweet term you just came up with. It's probably gonna keep getting scarier. Busking for a living is hard work. lol Appreciate you.

I kind of felt the lyrical vibe you were going for.  The whole "coming full cycle" thing was definitely at play here.  How you managed to explore that within the concept was well conveyed.  I always like your writings because they're neat and tidy, and they hold true to visual lucidity, within tight form.  You never lose me as a reader to too many big words or abstract ideas that go on a tangent.  It seems as though you have a path you follow in your logic, building these writings. Very "solid and concrete."  Anyway, good job again.

Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, brother. It really means a lot to me. Well the feeling just came to me to be lyrical. Maybe a part of me kind of misses writing songs. Which I do, so sometimes I gotta do something lyrical. Anyways.. Appreciate you.

Relationships between parents and children can be very complicated or worse: dysfunctional. This one comes close to home, thank you for touching a topic I think many can relate to. Great write, DL

I totally agree with you, this particular case is leaning towards dysfunctional. Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, Duende. Appreciate you.
