Holding unaware worlds close to discover
as a child finds a newfound secret land.
Take the noble path to touch the other
go through cosmic cracks to let life expand.
Minds swirl and spin in and out of control.
See where bigotry and injustice lives
peer deeply within seeking one's own soul.
Show children how a loving person gives.
Once one has seen the breadth of hidden pain
if we do anything we must teach the youth.
With the next tiny blip they won't complain
about all the varied views on world truth.
Through the history of logic and thought
remember youth must be carefully taught.
