Audio O Canada's residential school terrors, both fresh and future, Which stories will our textbooks now feature? Shall we scream at our irises to shut out the scorching lights?
though horrific beastliness tempts us to become stiff, our plucky empathy compels us to put aside our miff and crumple our foreheads to honour the hurt,
O Canada, our wailing eyes must endure and nurture the bitterest accounts of searing truth, we must not ignore any unearthed innocents no matter how uneasy it may be, I button up my tear ducts - for now - then turn my eyes, hands and heart to Marvin Gaye and join his resounding, vein-stirring cry: save the children.
Beautifully expressed!!!
Thank you ma’am!
Thought provoking yet soft on the eyes! Beautiful work!
Gory tails for obnoxious acts
Shall we scream at our eyes
Here are our hearts – every child matters.
