Double Dare

I'm lying in bed.
Thoughts in my head.
Hamapil has been said.

Is blogging considered speaking?
Is typing like talking?

Why am I at the computer at 2:22 in the am?
Hmmm....

I was just thinking.

About the new generation of soldiers.
Wherever they may live.
Growing up today.
In this liberal, anorexic, self conscious society.

In a world of the internet where all the shmutz we've worked so hard to keep out of our homes can creep in at the touch of a key.
Where innocence is sold to the highest bidder.
At a time when it's cool not to care.
When peer pressure can lead to things your parents never dreamed of in their worst nightmares.

I can't say I envy you.
Although in truth I should.
Because your battle is that much harder.
And the winning that much more awesome.

Ignore all the doomsayers.
All the judgemental pessimists who look at you and say:
"They'll never win. This battle over good and evil is lost on the new generation."

Stay strong fellow warriors.
Prove them wrong.
I dare you.
