My Children

What legacy have the adults left for you?

We Pretend to be the adults, to teach, to share and instill values and morals in you.

What example have we set for you?

We preach goodwill toward man, and yet, here we are killing our fellow man.

We have taught you what my child?

We have taught you how to maim and murder innocent creatures.

Oh my child I am sorry, for I am just one human.

What a burden the grown ups have placed on your shoulders.

I look at your innocent smile...

and the very core of my being secretly dreams of you keeping your innocence for an eternity.

Please my child, learn from us...learn, listen, watch, feel, my child...

for the lessons we are teaching you are mistakes for which you MUST correct!

For indeed my child, we have taught you something...

We have taught you fear, mistrust and confusion.

Oh my child, follow your heart...

feel the stirring within your spirit...

look into your fellow mans eyes and enter their soul...

experience what makes each of us special human beings,

and follow NOT in our footsteps.
