Boys in the Woods

 How they got out there

I do not know;

their moms are in the village though,

I think they got preoccupied

and never noticed that 

they'd strayed.

They are nearly man-sized now

you see.

Brought up in part on bad tv,

and various weird big brothers

of the digital age. 

Someone should have been afraid.

What happens when 

any young man is 

raised by half-wit Peter Pans

but have to live in the real world? 

There is a terrible disconnect

where the real and the fake

don't intersect--

they know it's wrong,

but don't know who to blame.

More's the shame--

do we?
