    Wowwww, are you a mind-reader or sth? Cuz you just said
    What I was lately thinking about!!!! I mean about society not
    Wanting the creativity of the children. So true! I was looking
    At my brother’s book the other day (he’s 9) and one of the
    Things that they had to write about was “write a letter to God”
    But instead of letting them to use their own imagination, they
    Had given some words and the children had to write a letter
    With those given words. And I thought that’s just so stupid.
    they should use their own imagination especially at this age.
    In school, children should learn not to be afraid to give their
    own ideas and respect each other’s opinions and don’t accept
    every given opinion so easily.
    this poem was really really good I must add. keep sharing your thoughts with us. they're great.
    have a great day,

    I agree completely with your message in this. It is a shame that children don't use their imagination anymore. I blame not only parents and society for stifling that but also video games and television.
    When I was growing up, we had TV and Atari (old school nintendo). But I wasn't allowed to sit inside all day. Heck, I didn't want to anyway. It was always more fun to play outside.
    Anyway, well done on the poem. I really like how you ended it.
    Take care and keep it up~Holly
