Poem
Tell Them To all who have never known, it's time that you've been told. Tell the population to change its ways before these lost lives and souls are all in vain. Tell the girls to think long and hard before they let a man twice their age break their heart. Tell them to think about who they are and what they want to be before they choose to conceive. Tell the boys who think they're men to think and think again when fatherhood is calling their name and they're hanging their heads in debt and shame. Tell them what it's really like to go to school, then work three jobs or more to pay child support, then beg a stranger for a ten dollar gas tip to fill up their tank just get home at night and make the trip. Tell them that their parents were right when they go to sleep, crying themselves to sleep at night. Tell them their friends are traitors in disguise, watching and waiting for opportunities to tell them lies and sabotage their lives. Tell the preteen girls in every walk of education and life to take control of their lives and souls. Tell them it's okay to tell the teenage boys that no means no. Tell them that being different is something to be proud of. Tell them that being different will save them for their true love. Becoming a Mother at thirty is a whole world better than being one at sixteen. Remind them of the wishes they made when they were little girls when they still dwelt in their hopes and dreams. Tell them to value who they are and listen to their hearts. Their unspoken, sweetest dreams are what and who they're meant to be. Tell the young men and women who don't know what to do that with their lives not to rush into being husbands and wives. Tell them to become who they were born to be. Tell them not to lose their passion five or six days a week because they were given innate goals, hopes and dreams to fulfill their destinies. Tell the girls who just discovered they're going to be a mother that they will make it one way or another. Tell them that when the guy they thought loved them was only telling them a lie, that he's not what's important anymore. Their little girl or their little boy is going to be their pride and joy. One day, they'll have a reason to forget the hopelessness and sorrow they once met. Tell the men who came home from war to find an empty house and home that there is so much more. Tell them they are our honored heroes. That is something that goes far deeper than anyone truly knows. Tell the children who were moved from countless foster homes that they are not alone. Tell them there is someone who cares. Tell them that there is an end to their nightmares. Tell the parents who lived their lives through their children that they can no longer run and hide. They have seen, heard and ignored when their children have begged and cried. Tell them it is their loss for living with their regrets and the lost expectations they never met. Tell the criminals that live inside a demented state of mind that hell is reserved for the lessons they re- fused to learn. Tell them insanity is never an excuse for abuse. Tell every man who ever hurt a woman and forced her child to watch has their time ticking away on the clock. Tell them they can't use violence to get what they want anymore. Karma is kicking down every window and every door. Tell the women who chose their boyfriends and their drugs over their babies that an apology will never be enough. Tell them that nothing is ever worth the price they'll have to pay for who they hurt. Tell the orphans that Heaven remembers them and hears their prayers. Tell them that Someone truly cares. Tell them that there will be someone to tuck them in at night and greet them each morning when they wake up to the sunlight. Tell the women in abusive relationships that it won't get better. It will only get worse. Tell them to get out now before they're not the only one who gets hurt. Tell them to get out before he steals more than their keys and their purse. Tell the countless girls who struggle with their weight to go beyond the hate. Tell them they are beautiful and perfect in every way and it doesn't matter what anyone else has to say. Tell the widows who feel the most alone that the Universe empathizes and it knows. Tell them they are loved and they are on their way Home. Tell those who have lost it all, but still stand for what they believe in, that they are the reason we still have a chance to win. Tell them their bravery is what we stand for. Their courage is our open door. Tell them. Tell them all we are here with open arms and loving hearts. Tell them this is the perfect place to start. Tell them they can be all they are. Tell them that. Tell them then. Tell them now. Tell them time and time again. Tell them loud and clear. Tell them right here. Tell them. Oh yes, please tell them.
