Listen to the children...


    It is time to listen
to what the children are saying;
    It is after all,
their future that we are affecting.

When they ask a question
    about the rational
of the adult worlds actions,
    they are ignored.
        - or -
are patted on the head and told;
    "some day you will understand."

    I still don't... Do you?

They ask things like; If I am supposed
    to get along with other people,
    even when I really don't like them,
    why don't you have to?

When we were children,
    we did not except the
"Do as I say, not as I do...",
    response from a can.
So... why should they except,
    what we didn't?
The children of today
    are no different.

They are no different from
    the children of yesterday,
    nor will they be different
from the children of tomorrow.

Perhaps the lesson here is;
    "The more things change,
    the more they stay the same".

There is no difference...
    in the difference!
Just as there is no difference
    in how the adults of yesterday,
    messed up the world for today;
Today's adults are now messing
    up the 'morrow.

Perhaps it is time to listen to the children,
    'cause we all know what happens,
        when we listen to the adults;
It is possible that the children...
    just might be...
        our only salvation!
