The Late Bloomer Baby Boomer - 3 Poem by Richard Wlodarski

The Late Bloomer Baby Boomer - 3

The Late Bloomer Baby Boomer - 3

Kindergarten
Suffocating
Periphery
Cries screaming
For freedom
Are disciplined
Creativity dying
Teacher hating
Warm milk given
To pacify
Children sleeping

Days turn into weeks...
And weeks into months...
And months into years...
