Teach Your Children To Cry

I know of a skill
That lets men carry on
Strengthens might and will
Rejects a zombies spawn

I know a world
That rejects what I know
Its banners deceptive, unfurled
As we all reap what we sow

Now we know emotion
Deep power in our soul
Yet in logic our emotion
Is buried in a hole

None of us knows
How to laugh and sigh
Quickly the world flows
And angels no longer fly

So teach your children how to cry
How to cry, how to laugh, how to sigh
Let them fall, and not deny
Let them stand, and let them fly

For if you leave them souls untried
Emotions checked, tears un-dried
You will find in later years
Their face is smooth amid great fears

The strongest men which I have known
Have shed tears of joy and pain
And weaker men cannot condone
Those men’s strong summer rain

Teach you children how to cry
Or with you they won’t mourn
And in the day in which you die
Their souls be torn

Their eyes be dry

And you will know the reason why
