how do you tell them?
the little doves
that seek to live
in the blue
how do you tell
them of the sharks
that
live in the sea
and the wolves
that wait
by the outside of the door
waiting to eat them
alive
how to explain
the world
we live in to our children
the shadows
of hatred
that fear of speaking up
against oppresion
how do we tell our young doves
how to live
free
speak free
and fly
how do you tell them
how
when
we
ourself
are stuck
here
grounded
by oppression
hatred
the doves
see it all, and still they dream of
and ask us
to tell them
any other story
before they go to bed
so we make something up©
