We Want To Live

|| The Six Year Old ||

At 6 years of age I used to try reading words together.
At 6 I used to aspire to be a peacock.
At 6 I ran wild in my backyard, eating dirt.
At 6 I watched powerpuff girls save the day.
At 6 my biggest fear was stealing chocolates and getting caught.
At 6 I used to never leave my mothers side.
At 6 I wore a short frock and danced all the way.
At 6 school was the best part of the day.
At 6 I was pampered and loved.
At 6 world was a happy place!

Sadly for many 6 year old today, its the place where their worst fears come alive, a place where they would never wanna go out again. Where their tiny frocks are sexually motivating, where their innocent smiles are inviting, where before they spell 'happiness' they spell 'rape', where powerpuff girls can't save them.
Where " love and pampering" is not so comforting. Where they are forced to die.. Even before they start living!
