TEACH the CHILD

TEACH the CHILD


Universe of the mind,
and body
a seed emerges and
wild roots grab hold of

a single child,
a shooting star
trapped in space -
continuous night.

One offspring shoots a
ray of light, dangling
principles - their
dance - multiplying
filling empty voids
where dark lingers -

a brighter light where
silent armies form,
gather strength beyond
a child now pushed, probed
by a single star.

Is this home or a
wild seed wanting to
be free?

No need to conform
no painful words
or trapped by a
darker day in light -

push – push - pain
but no labor

A single seed eats away
at a brain – grows
into webs of their own
ready to explode – as
the mind degenerates.

Train your child well -
seeds grow wild
in a wilderness
