The Children Are Watching
By John Cannon

Only the child
sees
reality

without

filters
screens
distortions.

Only the child
speaks
truth

without

qualification
modification
obfuscation.

Only the child
asks
truly deep questions,

“Why are you killing

all the beautiful,
innocent
plants and animals?”

And we think

the child

needs to be educated?
