Mark, I like the misdirecting enjambment on "play" and that the kids are ill at ease in the woods (finding it "not right"). Nice Blake joke at the end (OK, I had to Google to know it was a quote; I'm culturally deprived).

Nice theme. This fits it, I hope, since it's not just kids who are plugged in.


Self-portrait

I rage against the cuts, the desert war,
the corporations, climate change and more.

Watch me oppose the minions of despair:
I raise my voice. I know what’s right. I care.

I stand beside the homeless refugees,
expose corruption, bribery and sleaze.

Watch me speak out when others do not dare:
Here I am on Facebook clicking ‘share’.
