Angry words spoken in haste
Belittle little
Children's graceful
Demeanor
Eager minds are still very
Fraile, but also
Greatly absorb all that is
Hustled into their ears and minds.
Imaginations run wild
Joyfully taking them to place no one
Knows.
Laughter rings out from their little
Mouths when funny things they see. Yet
Not one but of giggleing is heard when
Obsessive parents crack down
Periously on them to be
Quiet and study or be seen and not heard
Revolting are these people, for little time they take to
Study their children and to know the love they have.
Tender moments slip by
Uphoria never hits these children's
Veins from love they need from the people
Whom they see and know most. Still they play with their
Xylophones & Rocking horses, Battleships, Barbies &
Yo-Yo's wondering why mommy & daddy don't hug them and take them to the
Zoo.
