Seedlings

Little sprouts!!! Make your way into the world: Through the padlocks and barracades! Fight your way through the earth 'till your fingernails bleed and your faces muddy and your knees skin worn thin and worry imprints itself on your callow brows!!You, little children, rays in the universe, beam your faces into the future. Look into our past and recognize our sadness. Press it into your feet that when you walk over the dirt roads of your youth, it will be dilligently etched into your soles so you forever remember. Walk between the bullets and scatter your lovely selves like grain over our barren wasteland. See our hate and let it melt into your hearts like miniature peppermint patties on your tongues. Transform, little ones....
