POETRY: 'Acceptable Logic?' by Ana Hagins

One’s purity is sacrificed when the pressures of this world begin to overpower their God-given morals. It’s not because they can’t resist such temptations, it’s just that they have a desire to be like what they see in the cinemas. Innocence is only a short-lived factor. In actuality, its existence is so brief that it’s almost just a figment of the imagination.

The true problem is that the perverse generation is our generation. There are elementary students calling their peers gay. Seriously? Do you even know the difference between a boy and girl? Aren’t you like two? But can you really blame a kid for something they learn outside of school?

Youth is temporary and so is the innocence that comes with it, or that use to come with it, rather. Once some type of corrupt knowledge is obtained then comes the application. “How does this apply to me?” they ask. What protection can you really give? Parents can try to guide, guard and protect all they want but in the end if your kid wants to know bad enough they can find an answer to all their questions somewhere else. It may not be the most comforting thing in the world to know, but you should know. There’s a purity deficit and it’s infecting young minds faster than bacteria.

I honestly think that it’s not necessarily the fact that kids want to be X-Rated, it’s just that it’s the “new black”, an “alternative lifestyle”, and because some people are “just born this way.” Acceptable logic? I didn’t think so, but I don’t see why it couldn’t be since this seems to justify everything else.

What’s the point in being upset about it now if that’s how they’re going to turn out anyways? I mean, it’s just them getting a head start, right? You want your babies to be the best at whatever it is they choose to do in life, so why not just let them start early? I guess there’s just something wrong with that type of behavior at this age. So what changes its level of approval when you get older?

Wrong is always wrong. Right is always right. Wrong is never right, and right is never wrong.

Acceptable logic?
