Thou Shalt Love the Children
Thou Shalt Love the Children:
A request from Panagiota,,,please?
You remember that time when
you were twelve?
How the world was blossoming
like a flower to you!
People loved you, just for for you.
Perhaps your dad was a physician,
Perhaps Mom was a musician.
Or maybe both were addicts?
Was that your fault?
Whatever they were?
What kind of age are we living in?
When we poets down 12 year olds
Of being born to certain men?
Or women, for that matter.
I guess being a grandmother of a
terrific grandson, age 12,
I am heartbroken when poets here
Use 12 year olds as the butt of
jokes.
Poets are not late night host comedians,
who will do anything for ratings.
I see poets here groveling for fame,
By destroying a 12 year old,
Whose done no harm.
Loathe the parents if you must.
Children? Never harm them with your
words.
Many of you have or had 12 year olds.
Please remember they are kids.
You don't need to love them,but of
Disrespectful words, please stop.
