Notes About The Poem

Image may contain: 2 people, child, baby, outdoor and closeup

Clear Consideration

It's clear we pass to little ones

          A world that we have wrought

               And children don't see hatred

     Until they're clearly TAUGHT ...


So ask yourself just what your

          Actions may be teaching, too

               And what our future's leaders

     Are now clearly learning, too.


(Or maybe thru their honest eyes

          WE could learn a thing-or-two)

So true G, with good reason Jesus taught we should be like children, not only innocent but oblivious to differences. My best friend growing up was Jamaican another was Tamil, there are good and bad in every race, but, we are all brothers.
