Latchkey Kids

 What did we want you ask?

What did we dream of as children growing up in grey cities surrounded 

by broken concreate and broken people?

We dreamed of peace

open areas with green grass and climbable trees

stary nights

clean air

freedom

latchkey kids dreamed of having their own bedrooms

privacy to expand 

making tents and having sleep overs

functioning air conditioning 

treehouses and field trips

and the serenity and security needed to flourish

and yet, like weeds

so often dismissed as worthless

those who survived, thrived

to dream dreams of providing these things and more for their children.

But in this economy?

We now raise the next generation of latchkey kids, so lost in their social media and efforts to be some "virtual" somebody, they don't know... how much more trapped they are now,

then we were then. 

At the least we can say, we Lived, we Explored, and had the Wildest Dystopian Adventures
