Yesterday, I shared a poem of a personal interaction of how one child could affect massive change. Today, I share this poem that has been my interpretation of the collective voice of the Children I have heard in my shamanic journeys.

From them we adults should learn how to govern. The foolish wars on this planet…You know, I am just going to let the Children speak. Turn to your own Heart — not Ego reasoning — and listen to what they say.

The Children

All you leaders of the world speak

Gibberish to the Children when you

Justify wars and collateral damage, when you

Rationalize economics over

Hearing the Children of the world, and the

Ones who live next door, the

Red and Black, Brown, Yellow, and White,

Who tell you of their hunger,

Their fears, their pain in the night

When you sleep soundly, smug asses

Warm and fed, and allow your

Ego to pat you on the head

To tell you how clever, skilled you are at

Destroying enemies, manipulating them
