Kiddies Are Our Future

Have you noticed When kiddies play They play with guns of war They learn from us What seems to be Quite natural to our core The future of Our planet lies In hands of every child Let's teach each soul And guide them through The perils with a smile A positive take On life it seems Helps reach that distant goal We don't need tools Of war no more Just peace in every soul So treasure kids And nurture them To change the times ahead And make this place Much better than The years of fear and dread It can be done If all of us Just listen to our hearts Let's forge a path With kiddie's help And make a brand new start! © Jack Ellison 2012

This is a great piece. “Let's teach each soul And guide them through The perils with a smile” —you teach smiles so well. Thank you for your wisdom and positivity. It does make a huge difference. Always, Laura

Bravo! But putting the future into their hands is frightening... especially when mine doesn't have much common sense... I sure hope at 21 he will grow up soon... Ahmen...

I totally agree with you Jack, these video games etc. should be banned by the parents if not by the companies themselves.
