The older I get the more I hear
of how people survive childhoods
when their parents are tired and ill,
and their education is sold to all
as it were the best education going.
But what to do when hindsight proves
that the only learning on offer
mangles a child beyond repair?
When they become yet another twisted adult
through the toxic mix of cynicism and sentiment?
The more I hear the more I wonder
if there is any such thing as sanity, at all.
