Young Minds
young impressionable minds today
fearless leaders of tomorrow
years in between will pass
will slip away in a flash
under our tutelage
our guidance
our encouragement
our influence
our illusion of dominance
that for some
will escalate
to abuse of power
to oppression
extinguishing the light
within a child
one at a time
nothing short of
exterminating
dreams of tomorrow
bursting the bubbles
of confidence
meant to lead to stellar feats
