Death to the Innocent Children by Shana Shaw

Not to the elderly people who on the brink of death whom can only now recount the tragedies of their past, who criticize the leaders of the present, and foretell the catastrophes of tomorrow.
    Nor to the generation of today, who begin battles and war that have no end in sight, who make mandates of poorest countries and have those create products that further contribute to their wealth;
But to the innocent children, the vast majority of little people which I love. In the times where disaster seems to be on the rise, when humans gradually continue to lose their "humaneness" we must think of the ones we love. My love is for the children.
    To the little people who run around the playground shouting their ideals of becoming a firefighter, policeman, or doctor
To the people who argue amongst each other about who gets to be the pink or yellow Power Ranger
    To the kids who cry because they had to share one of their two juice boxes with another kid
    To the children who go into their mommy's purse for a piece of candy or gum
    To the children who wonder why barbies seem to be so interesting on television rather than when you get home and play with them
    To the little boys who come to school eagerly wanting to exchange Pokemon cards with another
    To the kids who cry and whine when its nap time and then cry and whine when its time to get up
    To the children who love to make up stories and say them as fact even though they make absolutely no sense
    To the little people who pick their noses or cough without covering their mouths because they do not understand the concept of sanitation
To the kids who sing songs and have absolutely no clue what the song is talking about
To the children who look at action movies and try to mimic them and get bruises all over their body
To the kids who get into their mommies make-up and end up looking like Mimi from the Drew Carey show
To little boys who try on their mother's dresses and high-heels because of curiosity
To the little girls who make their Dads sit in chairs that are way too small for them and have tea
To the little kids who dress themselves and have all the colors of the rainbow on and their shoes on the wrong feet
To the little kids who are potty trained..................THANK GOD!!!!!!!
To the little people who stuff their messes under their bed and call their room clean
    To the children who cry when they think they're in trouble when they're no
    To all of you, I hold you in my heart.
