The Child's Voice

She looks up,
and they're looking down
She speaks up,
and they all turn around
She tries to fight
but they simply laugh
She gives her vote
but they count it as only half

Listen to the children
Hear their voices, however weak
Listen to the weak ones
Hear them out, let them speak
Listen to their wisdom
Let them tell you what they think
I promise you
You'll be surprised
They're wiser than you think.
