Yeah uh, what the F***??? Does a child that young, even have a political affiliation, or preferences??? HECK no! And yet, this is, currently happening, observations from the Front Page Sections, translated…
Children are like seeds, growing up in the soils; whether it be election or any other day of the year, how you communicated, made the sales pitches, make your decisions; the generations look toward each other, and they would know, which directions to turn.
this is sad, but, here it goes…

“I’m here on behalf of…!”, I’d met up with a young boy in my neighborhood by chance about a month ago, even though he was only in the first grade, he’d come, to strike up conversations with the older ladies in the neighborhoods, and yet, he’d spoken, so fittingly, as if, he were, an adult.
As he’d heard, that he’d needed to go to every house to ask for the votes for the candidate his families supported, he’d understood, the adult’s world’s socialization, he’d immediately told his elders, that after school, he shall, go out, and ask the neighbors to vote for certain candidates; as it drizzled during the weekends, he’d come out too, posed for photo with the cleaning crew with his adult counterparts, as he’d, held up his fingers, of the registered voting number of the candidate of his family member, as I walked by, I couldn’t help but stop, and smiled. As the evening rolled in, the adults are, picking up the things for their campaign, he’d run in and out, waiting for the adults to call it a night, stayed out by the shops, playing, refusing to sleep, I’d asked why he didn’t go to bed already? The active kid turned, suddenly, into a silent child, like he was, a faithful audience of some show, refusing to sleep, until, the show’s, completely done.
In the mysterious movie showing of High Life, Juliette Binoche portrayed a female physician, on a spaceship that’s, stuck in outer space, she’d worked hard at, collecting the semen of all the males who’d ever been in the spaceship, for her own “baby plans”; recalling back to her life on earth, the only console of the African American youth had, was that his children will grow up safe and sound; all the conflict, all the rages, found their peace, at the moment the male lead, Robert Pattinson looked into the eyes of his own baby girl who was born on the spaceship.
It’s now, toward the end of the elections, there are, a ton of conflicted words that surfaced; do remember, the children are, looking up to the adults in the world right now, all of our insistence, choices that we are about to make, are for, the sake of a better future for the next generations.
And so, this, is how a kid, with political enthusiast parents had been, socialized, and maybe, he thought that it was, only a game, but, being socialize to ask for votes from the adult voters in his neighborhood, he’s, losing his childish innocence, because he’d gotten, introduced to the adult world, because his parents are, forcing their ideologies onto him, even though he may only, see it, as a fun game to play!
