It’s the first day of school,
and I see all of the children
that are entering kindergarten this year.
They don’t know. They don’t understand.
Soon though, too soon,
they will discover all
of the cruelties in this world.
They will learn. They will be corrupted.
Society will break into them,
into their little, growing minds
that will accept anything as normal
until they realize that judging is the norm.
When their beautiful faces that
were once so innocent become
corrupted with the ignorance of the world
we will know that they learned and
we will know that they uncovered the truth.
