Protect the kids.
that's what you say you want.
yet those kids you wanted to shield
need to be shielded by you
because you're building a closet
you insisted was the devil
and when that same closet fell
you did nothing to protect them
from the parts of your creation
striking them in lethal places.
Protect the kids.
yet all you do is hurt them.
you hurt them until they hurt themselves
and they hurt themselves until you hear the news of another innocent child falling.
Protect the kids.
If you want to do that so much
leave them alone.
stop yelling about protecting them
the only thing you're shielding them from
is themselves.
your shield is made of hate.
hate for the kids.
