The light greeted me
Oh it was bright
What was it, what is it
Who am I
Rhythmic tappings
Murmurrings, beeps, and whistles
Light formed shapes that dance
Discomfort down below
Soothing sounds
Patting of belly and back
Discomfort expelled
Now my thoughts are back
My
Yes I have a my
That is me
I am someone
Light shaped soothing sound maker
That has a name
I have a name too
The sound maker's name is mom
What am I here for
To make noise and try to move
Who am I
Time passes...
"Did you do your homework?"
Yes.
"Did you brush your teeth?"
Yes.
"It is time for bed."
Okay
Frustration... I'm not tired
Then I sleep
"We'd like to offer you the position"
Thank you.
"Do you have a down payment?"
Here you go.
"Did you hear about what nameless said on Facebook?"
Yeah, it should be illegal to talk like that.
"Did you hear about the latest shooting?"
Yeah, they need to ban guns.
"Did you hear about the guy that killed people with a Knife in Japan?"
Yeah, they need to ban knives.
"They took my toothpaste before I could get on the plane."
It was for your own safety.
"Did you hear about all the children's toys recalled?"
It was for child safety.
"Did you hear that Edward Snowden is wanted or Treason for reporting NSA criminal activities?"
Yeah, whistleblowers are scum.
"Did you hear college tuition is so high now days?"
Yes, it should be free.
SLAP
(echo resounds)
Light shaped waking sound maker
"Did you hear about something called responsibility?"
Uhm, yeah.
"So why do you keep pawning off responsibility onto others?"
For safety.
"Life is dangerous, you could trip and hit your head on a table, unless you want to live in a padded room take responsibility, and quit letting others make your decisions for you."
What if I am wrong?
"So what, own up to it when you are wrong!"
I am afraid....
"Welcome to life! Now why not try living it, rather than letting others live it for you..."
Thanks...

Wonderful! I love the way that you employed the images and gifs. The idea of the sound maker was great! I love the way you delivered this message.
Neat vignette on the story of life in the 21st century. An enjoyable read.
This is my poetry account. I am reblogging it on my main account. I will only do one more thing today.
Phenomenal!
