The Child
Born oblivious to the
ways of the material world
Without pomp and circumstance the child sheds its ethereal umbilical cord and separates from God
Without pomp and circumstance the child sheds its ethereal umbilical cord and separates from God
It becomes wholly dependent
upon its terrestrial carrier
With the passage of
time the senses prime the child’s instinctual essence
From four to two, the
child’s mobility will free itself from passiveness
Restrictions will
lessen as the mind begins its meandering fanaticism
In short order speech
begins to manipulate the awaiting curiosity
Words replace the
clearer and more abstract reality that once existed
Family naively begins
to impregnate the child with the passwords to Hell
Love, hate, evil and
all the in-betweens begin to distort the impressionable being
Every preconceived
racial stereotype will soon be seeded
Hate begins the
journey of re-affirming what the child has become
Look upon a child you
may know if this scenario is too distant for you to remember
Then ask that child
if it will become as you
The miracle may be
that “the child may be re-created anew in you”.
Thank you,
