Speak child speak,
Hold not your tongue...
Because the Questions that you may ask
the answers that it brings
may be the solution that saves us all.
Speak child speak,
Because ignorance is not bliss
it is apathy to the mind,
it is the residue of brainwashed thoughts
that destroys itself fully with passions of time,
Stagnation is ignorance and the death of young and old minds.
Speak child speak
Your voice may be the one
that touches the world and reshapes reality
into a peaceable paradise that woman,
men, and children may grow and live in.
Speak child speak
Because my voice is old and unremembered
it is the weeping of slaves in the bowels
of coffin ships
it is the creak of rope and wood
and silent kingdoms swaying in a sultry
southern breeze,
it is the shackles of falsehood binding me to inferior thoughts
of midevil slavery,
it is the sound of a fast life lived and lost in court rooms
trying to escape my self created hell.
Speak child speak,
Because you are the grace of god
and the dreams of a nation.
Speak Child Speak!
~ Malcolm Scott (my father)
