Cheap Childhood Poem by anais vionet

Cheap Childhood



(each stanza is a haiku)

Barron Trump will be
attending virtual school soon
his Mom is careful

Should you send your kids
to dance on the battlefield
careful mothers?

Take you one last look
at faith in your kids eyes
- teach them their real worth.

What is the story
they will tell their kids - if you
push them out the door?

Those small trusting faces.
Cemetery roads are bricked
with silly gambles.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Erin Cowart 12 August 2020

Love this! I recently had to grapple with sending my kids back to school and it felt as if I was dealing with a life or death decision, because I was. Ultimately I chose distance learning, because if there is even a remote chance that my child can catch COVID and die than that is unacceptable! Thanks for the poem!
