Rui screwy rich and chewy never
understood defense mechanisms make
immature children rhyme when confronted
singularly by otherness, whether
cause for concern is based on differences
resolved by negating facts for the sake
each child finds in friendship, disappointed
with the strange boy from another country
yet to form cliques to defend the senses
rich with imagination, what is strange
is not what children know but adults see
coloring and othering to derange
how children perceive possibility
as a danger to resources, hungry
now to learn something new outside the no
decisions to control the world at large
challenges to status quo, the normal
however mundane and routine, to grow
each day and watch forces infiltrate sight
whether or not such acts are meant to barge
yet unintentionally into shall
night no longer be dark, our feet on land
ever floating towards the sky, sunlight
vulnerable children must be aware
ever cautious and vigilant of where
reason grinds principles into fine sand
