I’m hidden, I keep getting pushed back
There was a time I thrived in life
But now society has pushed me away
Kids used to play outside or in for hours
Sometimes with few or little toys
But with me they didn’t need those things
Now there’s all these electronics
Which…ok, my expertise was needed in their origins
I was used to create the many masterpieces…
Which in turn pushed me away
It sometimes feels like children rather use the creation
Rather than the creator
In school they try and use me
Some kids love me and others don’t
I see the struggle of sometimes being a foreign concept
Many children rather watch t.v. than read a book
Reading greatly exercises me
While playing based on movies has a slightly smaller stretch
This isn’t just a generation gap with me; it’s becoming an
Epidemic
Adults push me away- as they’d rather watch a movie or t.v.
show
Rather than read a book and enter a whole new world or
create something
Adults seem not to have time, constantly too busy
They think of me as a thing of the past
A thing children use…yet today many aren’t using me as much
Sadly many movies, books & t.v. are starting to lack me
Many follow the same story with little originality
They’ve become very predictable and oftentimes the same
story told different ways
Currently I’m still around…but I feel I’m losing my color
What I mean is that when I’m used a lot my color is vibrant
and bright
My color fades when I’m not, I just hope and pray I don’t
disappear completely
No matter what your age, work on not losing sight of me
Put the electronics away and decide to play
You’ll be amazed at the things we can do and places we can
go!
Please
fight for me,
Imagination
