AGE
To be young,
Is a curse.
Pressures possess the children,
like demons on the rampage.
Time Travelling demonic terrors,
the demons of education,
the demons of parents,
the demons of the future.
Rarely is a child not asked,
what their life will be.
the questions bombard them.
The routes ahead are carved,
yet the road is fogged,
so they cannot be seen.
A test determines our path,
yet not everyone has to take it.
The children are cursed,
from the day they arrive.
