Children on the edge of time
Rebel against the rhyme
   and reason
      taught by parents in the 
         season
Of ingratitude

They seek
   to find the beast that
       grown ups like to think
Is just a myth
That lurks in shadows seen by
Sick demented 
   pantomimes

They revel in the fear
   of social
      drivel
Broken spine
And masturbating
Master minds

They see the sunset
In the breeze
That older hearts
Refuse to tease from
Raging thoughts of 
Vanities
