How come we were never taught this?
How come no one ever told us the truth?
Because we are like children
innocent in our beliefs
content in our ignorance
tell us a bed time story daddy
keep the monsters at bay
tell us a story where the endings are happy
where all of the girls are princesses
and all of the boys are kings
You are right
I am opinionated
it is my duty
my mission
to educate
to erase ignorance
to develop thinkers
I am the teacher
and your children come to me.
