Tell the Babies      

  Tell the babies that the blood which flows in their veins today
built the Pyramids centuries ago with stones from the Earth.
Tell the babies that the genes that make them who they are
created writing and education when the rest of the world was
bathed in ignorance.
  Tell them that the voices who whisper are the ancestors
anchored within echoing, even as they sleep, to build the next
great tomorrows like were built the last magnificent yesterdays.
  Tell them that they are required to rule and before they can
must first rule themselves with knowledge that resists any
attempts to dwarf their Humanity or make them tumble from
pyramids of thought to gutters of mind.
  Tell the babies that the ancestors left them a living legacy
testifying that they were designed for accomplishment,
engineered for success and somewhere in between was
dropped an endowed seed of greatness by the Almighty
Architect to let them know that there is a hero within.
  And then, don’t forget to tell yourself !

Namyh, you speak well for the concept of teaching one's history. Without the stories, we would be lost.
