Eyes of a Child

the eyes of a child see what is happening & they know it’s not good--- they see the facial expressions of the loved ones round them, stressed out & angry, saddened & depressed, trying to squeeze a cent out of every possible path left to the increasing poor of the world. the eyes of the child are then fed lies, for whenever they open up their mouths to ask why things are going awry, their own parents, their own caregivers, do their best to make things sound the least worrying, they do their best to calm themselves in the doing & the child has no idea why this is, when they are young--- they only see the lie plastered all over the faces of the liars. inevitably the child will get older & these questions do not cease--- for even if they succumb to the lie at the time of that early questioning, they will return & they will return on their own, searching online, spending hours upon hours to get their own answers & after doing so, they will come back to you with the questions again, wanting a new answer this time… why did you lie in the first place?
