I Am Deception
They’ll Trust Me

I’ll be coming for your children and there’s little you can do
My pursuit will be relentless ‘til the devil says we’re through
I’ll convince them drugs are normal, that addiction has no shame
That they should be having sex because virginity is lame
I will help them doubt their gender, l’ll put ‘drag shows’ in their schools
I will help them choose their pronouns and to question moral rules
I’ll demand they be “inclusive, until someone disagrees”
And I’ll tell them, “No One’s listening,” if they’re praying on their knees
I’ll convince them they’re entitled, that they’re owed the life they want
How to live above their means, attain possessions they can flaunt
I will tell them all, “The universe is centered around you”
That they needn’t lift a finger and the internet is true
I’ll convince them there’s no future if they haven’t a degree
I’ll remove their inhibitions so their conscience will be free
I will teach them life is pointless, that there’s nothing they can give
Then I’ll make your children question if they even want to live

I’ve been writing poetry (rhyming mostly) since about 2014 and have recently transitioned to writing novels and short stories. My poetry genres are faith, humor, social issues, politics, pretty much any subject matter.

Whoa!!! That ending was brutal. So much truth in these words. It's scary to think about but shouldn't be avoided.
