Powerful poem Imad -- I'm with you that the children are victims of politics and especially the victim culture which historically is known to be detrimental -- girls are stronger now because they were told to "go gurl" -- so saying "don't go gurl...or kids" would appear to have the opposite result -- That said, I think there's a lot of virtual signaling and anarchy for anarchy's sake in motion -- passionate sure; but part of which is also a result of kids not having a larger stake in society -- however this has been the case since man walked out of caves -- kids will not like the alternative, neither anybody else -- it's more than one step down -- -- Wonderful thesis Imad
