Should a child have to know?

Question: Should a child have to know!?

Does your Child Know!?

Your fake smile never lies
nor does you daily ’graines!.
Moody today, as you were
yesterday and yesterday’s day!.
Another night your not there,
another morning too!.
Charades you play, acts portray!.
And excuses!? You are a pro, indeed!
The glassy eyes, the stumble there
words that ramble, words that crumble!.
A strange “perfume”, a constant sneeze
Twitching… pacing…spacing…
Your eyes not seeing but others are!.
Forget innocence, grace and all the saints
a child knows… knows before the “rest!.”Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

You have captured the innocence of children and riddled it with the unwanted knowledge they glean by watching and listening!.

Good use of "rest" as the denouement!. Knowing before the rest (of the people); before the rest (of sleep); before the rest (of a life they know will change)!. Thumbs up!

Very powerful and excellent work!

A bit of a line edit:

Your fake smile never lies
nor does you daily ’graines!. <--- your I think you might want to write out migraines rather than rely on your audience knowing that 'graines are migraines!.

Moody today, as you were
yesterday and yesterday’s day!.
Another night your not there, <--- you're or you are
another morning too!.
Charades you play, acts portray!.
And excuses!? You are a pro, indeed!
The glassy eyes, the stumble there
words that ramble, words that crumble!.
A strange “perfume”, a constant sneeze
Twitching… pacing…spacing…
Your eyes not seeing but others are!.
Forget innocence, grace and all the saints
a child knows… knows before the “rest!.”

Children are very smart!. They usually know more than you think!. They probably don`t understand!. If you can try to explain
before they come up with their own conclusions!. Sometimes they go out and tell their friends and teachers!. The next thing you know the authorities are knocking on your door because the story got all twisted around!. Be honest with your kids, then they will be honest with you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
