Freedom of
Expression and Speech is our two edged sword
Protects the
flow of ideas but here reality gored
Slender Man,
an internet creation without a face with tentacles out of his back
What power
over children does this figment have to attract?
Were the
creators of sick mind far too perverse?
Or the preteen
girls afflicted with the beginnings of a mental illness curse
Two preteens
in order to bring a Slender Man from the surreal
Lure another
into the woods to death by stabbing try to deal
Something is
really wrong in this story that as a father causes me to shake
Why did
these kids have so much internet access? What action to monitor did the parents
take?
Thanks to
the media a child sees more killings and maimings than soldiers in most wars
Since the
victims are only on the internet, no real burials, no wonder our culture of
violence soars
A numbing of
the senses, victims do not really exist, the viewer loses any compassion or
empathy
Along with
any pretense of knowing right from wrong or concept for the dead of
sympathy
Death is for
real, there is no sequel for the victim, no replay
Only the
ache of the living that takes years to fade away
Shame on the
Slender Man creators of this violence-is-normal-insane belief
Parents need
to block access and watch your children if you want to avoid major grief
As a
government we cannot sheath this First Amendment two edged sword
But Parents
can and should their kids moral training and internet access cannot be ignored
