You can lead a horse to water,

but still, you cannot make it drink.

You can scold a child again and

again,

but still, you cannot make them

think.

You can play the finest music,

but still, she may not dance.

You can buy a child markers,

but still, they may use their old

crayons.

You can put down a whole generation

with your words and your hate,

but still, they will open their

mouths, as they have so very much to say.

You may think a lifetime is long

when it goes by in what

seems like less than one day.
