miss the point, if they see one at all,

other than power and greed;

or a frightening need

to be in on the game,

nurtured and tended with greatest of care,

showing adults ideas of which

they were unaware.

Exploring new things they birth us anew.

Challenging old ideas with bold vigor

they stir us to face greater rigors.

Ignore those false powers which drag us down,

start wars, steal elections, defraud supporters,
