Tainted

There was a time
When children
Thought of happy things, happy thoughts
And adults dwelled on the deeper things in life
But time have changed
And adults do not want to deal with the deeper things in life
So they force it upon their children
And they still have those thoughts
But it is too late to take it back
For now children are tainted
And they think it is right
To force such thoughts upon their children
And some children do not want to deal with such thoughts
So they make them go away
Along with everything else
Permanently

This is so true. Also, it's interesting that we also measure intelligence by obedience. I know there are some rules that aren't using common sense, but as society expects people to follow through without question. It's always good to question things. So I really like how your poem discusses about how responsibility is passed around with deep thoughts.
