The Little People

There are these voices,

the dance amongst us on a

daily basis,

their innocence allows for a constancy

that play,

that desire to remain wide-eyed

to our society, the world, the place

they have yet found a need to understand

beyond knowing the world is their own.

 

I see hypocrisy all around our lives,

and wonder just when,

will there be a time while the children play,

that society will rule love

rather than a murder, a maim, a disinterest,

while the children play.

 

For we must consider the need to let their play

go unhindered by the tragedies of our every day.
