The face of many a child

[PrinceMyshkin]

The face of many a child
is a manifesto of hope.

They are posted, like beacons,
at strategic points around the world

where you and I can see them
and wonder.

Nice image :)

God, the pathos you can work into so few words... Very thought provoking and hauntingly sad...

[Virgil]

Nice. I do like the simile:

They are posted, like beacons,
at strategic points around the world
Makes for quite an image. :)
