Animals don’t need lessons
on how to raise their young.
They do it or they don’t
according to nature’s plan.
Humans, on the other hand,
learn behavior
from their parents or
their schools, or their culture.
There is another way
that children learn.
A secret place within each child
that stores the cruelty and the love
of their individual experience.
A reservoir of knowledge
which knows no boundaries
of time or of place or of culture
and draws all children together
into a secret
universal bonding.
