Kids played
Outside
Playing
Hide and seek
Gave neighbour's
Cheek
Never wishing
Away the week
They fell over
And never cried
They sneeked
Around playing spies
Peeled scabs off
Their dirty knees
With the loudest
Of screams
Always said
"Thank you"
And
"Please"
In the back garden
Making mud pies
Your parents knew
If you were telling lies
On bikes all day
Children rode
Jumping at whizzing
Skippy ropes
Now indoor playing
Computer games
Is it me or is the
World
Going insane?

Thanks poetessdarkly ?
Hello Wayne...
A speck of the dirt on the nose will probably be called neglect...
People don't have to feel like they need to spend time with the kids...
My Granddaughter knows sunblock and playing outside when she's here...
She can't go outside and play at home...
It breaks my heart...
We make up for it and she doesn't want to go back home but, I say we always have the Summer...
She learns so much more than a computer game and she goes home with so much knowledge she doesn't stop talking about it for a long time I'm told...
?
Great write with the harsh reality...
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...

LOVE IT!!.... been thinking about doing something with this subject matter myself!!...... it REALLY does bother the hell out of me that kids no longer go outside and play!!.....I see it everywhere..... and although some kids are still outside playing school sports etc. the vast majority are missing out an extremely important part of childhood.......thanx for this dear poet brother...... great job with this WAYNE!!......ALL STARS!!......LOVE and ROCKETS!!......T xo ???♥
Thanks very much Tony! And you're very right, so many children are missing out playing out getting dirty, strengthening their immune systems naturally, and just other things in general haha hope I'm not rambling on but hope you get what I mean ?? ☮&? brother poet! ?
