Loyally follow that thumping sensation that sits in your chest, determinedly follow that feeling of your gut dropping to the floor; devote your whole life to creating that energy.


All that is told
is nothing known
& the children are forced to choose

But how can one choose when the freedom of choice
was never given the privilege or even a voice?

Yet how can one choose when the words that do ring
are those of others & individual thoughts are valued to no thing?

How can they choose what to do if their mind cannot focus on simply what they love
as another speaks of demanding tasks that MUST be done
keeping in mind the threat of God above?

Give the Children a minute to bask in their gorgeous glory,
to discover their minds,
to think & decide for who they individually are & dream to be
only through mistake can one learn & progress for their own sake
