"You are blind to what you hear,"
A wise man once said.
So I keep my eyes wide open,
even when I'm in my bed.
Tell a kid anything
and they'll make sure to listen.
Whether it's the boogeyman,
or politics,
or religion.
Let's teach children to dig deeper,
to find things on their own.
Words will just brainwash them,
and stay with them
until they're grown.
Show them how to trust themselves
and help them with scraped knees.
And if they still want to
read the Bible,
let them do as they please.
"You are blind to what you hear,"*
A wise man once said.
So I'll keep my eyes wide open
and I will until I'm dead.
