what world is this?

I grew in a world where people didn’t talk of sex, religion or politics.

I grew in a world where men were in charge.
I grew in a world where adults told children what to do
I grew in a world where I was told I didn’t appreciate what I had
I grew in a world where I was supposed to see a concrete box as a bonus
I grew in a world where construction and concrete were seen as progress
I grew in a world where our planet's health was irrelevant
and
not a single adult told me they could learn a single thing from me.


I also grew in a world
swathed in love
cradled in care
protected and prompted
supported
loved
loved
loved.
