A Teaching Space

They come here to learn,
to grow and achieve.
They will develope ambitions
they just want us to believe.

The things that they see and
how they are treated.
Will teach them to view
what the world around them is.

Yet now there are police here,
claiming to bring peace.
This space of teaching -
is a place of fear, rage and unease.

Handcuffs and screaming,
Lockdowns and more...
simply because
of the youth being born?

They live what they see,
do what they know... 
speak what they are taught...
and just need to show... ...

They are youth.... simple and pure,
just as we were.... growing and learning,
waiting to be taught... wanting to love,
needing to succeed... Gifts from above.

They have ambitions, hopes and dreams.
We can not walk on them so forcefully!
Trample them down before they grow.
What will become of this world we know?
