Analysis of Step Aside Adults
Prelude: “All the Adults went out to play~
They left all the children in charge for the day.”
Ten year old children~
Are bravely standing tall
Asking all the questions~
Step Aside Adults~ Allow them to be heard
The unanswered questions~ of many wasted tears
Step Aside Adults~ Give them your attention
They have the wisdom to answer all those questions
Through the endurance of their journey~
Over ten simple years
Step Aside Adults~ Clear Your Deafened Ears
They speak of truth, kindness, equality and love
How the world was intended~
With guidance from above
Step Aside Adults~ For You Do Not Comprehend
They are the voices of the future
The hope, the peace~
Of present times
Step Aside Adults~ Admit Your Failures, Your Crimes
The crimes of hate, deceit and greed
You have failed to acknowledge~
The failures done against our children of hope
Step Aside Adults~ Is This An Evil Game You Play
The Children of The World
Speak Volumes of Wisdom~
Their Truth Shall Defeat You at Your Game

About this poem
The children of our world have so much wisdom and so much endurance. They are hope for the future and we should listen to them. I wrote a simple fun poem years ago as part of a sweet daydream. I will use it as the prelude to my poem.
