a child-heartbeat has such power
to sway ideas
and turn the tide
hence -
show adult-folly


1.
emperor bays the crowd
to flatter
invisible trappings
of grandeur and prowess


2.
when blind to the obvious
talk is no good




och, man
just freaking forget it*




(what good is talk... when the COMMON voice is not heard?
                               ...  when yet another child-heartbeat is lost?)





S T, 5 sept
how many more child-heartbeats will we lose . . . in haste?
it's easy to stand with a (even semi-rallying) crowd behind you, yet -
at the end of the day
when you nicely tuck in YOURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR child,
can you breathe easy
knowing that, due to a command given or act commited
(directly or not) from your remote-hand:
some other parent
cannot?

EVERY CHILD IS OUR CHILD.
We are killing the future !!
Even surviving child-heartbeat may bear bitter memory-seeds, catapulting unbroken-cycle.
  
Shame on us all.. sis, man.. we have at our disposal so much of ability to DO GOOD.
Man, we have precious chances to prove we can do BETTER.. instead :(




sub-entry: visit

should I visit you
in your home
and you don't like what I say...

would you now show me your ill-placed power
and
hold a gun to my head?

yes, I'm afraid, indeed
to EVER visit you

not fearing you
but your unwieldy hand
born of folly-haste
and blind-avarice

the balance is not righted
in blood-spill
ever.

( would you be willing
to write
a **** poem
in
child-blood?):
