Children of the Dawn

From dusk ‘til dawn, 
Where night is born. 

The children of day, 
Come out to play. 

It’s a poet’s delight, 
To write through night. 

Both creating the way,
Of the world today. 

Opposite in nature, 
Great spirit & creator. 

As women and men, 
Make laws with pen. 

While children still play, 
Brought up to pay. 

The native in all, 
Is a forgotten call. 

Once we arise, 
Dropping the disguise. 

A new world will be born, 
The old left to forlorn.

Amen White Wolf! We definitely need to drop our disguise and be real to each other so we can heal and become one.
