These are our children allow them to speak. Don't silence their voices and call them down weak. These are the children that will fight our fights. Don't call them ignorant don't say that they might drop guns at the borders and plant the daisies as they squint into microscope looking to cease diseases created for wars we decree in the name of our forefathers who stated that we were meant to be formed for sanctuary, as we slaughtered the peoples of nativity. Inspiring a freedom of collars and thought-- replacing our "shoulds" with some hope of what "ought." These are our children. Allow them to speak. Let us age graceful acknowledging meek inherits the world in the books of the sage: These are our children. It's their time to rage. |

Very powerful write, dear Karen. Thought provoking. Every generation has its own way to learn the lessons of love. The road is bumpy, but in the end it comes to that: awaken to love and plant the daisies. Love, Margherita |

"replacing our "shoulds" with some hope of what "ought." ...an eloquent reminder that if we do not learn from the past, then we are doomed to repeat it...intriguing, powerful, passionate...all of the above...good write... |
