Overwhelming
The joys of childhood remembered with glee
When much of life, overwhelming can be
So many decisions we must now make
Nothing is based on a simple handshake
We wade our way through all the fake news
Backed by monied men, their intent to confuse
Even though much is overwhelming
And we often find it all so vexing
Trying to keep life simple the goal
Maintaining a semblance of control
Over that which is part of our world
Becomes more complicated and gnarled
We do the best we possibly can
Since we’re only humans, not superman

I never believed that old saying, times were easier, but with changes in society, it really has become more complicated as a child and teen especially outside adult life.

I know “control” is an illusion for the most part, but if we drop the reins, even with our children, control is gone. I see so many parents afraid to say no and the result is kids who believe they deserve everything and more and kill to get it. Its pretty scary these days. And thank you , you are always so positive and It’s wonderful hearing what you think, good bad or indifferent. hehe
