When alas,
from out of the mouths of babes
...comes nothing, but silence...
we've only ourselves to blame.
"Children should be seen,
and not heard" --
a phrase often quoted,
(if only in jest)
could one day forever ring true...
If their words are silenced,
their thoughts not allowed freedom,
we shall soon awaken
to a world belonging to
a silent generation --
one seething with anger
directed at older generation,
...one that won't speak out,
even to secure it's own future.
Lest we doom our children
to an existence of hate and regret,
if our little ones should request
our attention,
...please, give it to them.
