Silent by Carol Lewis
Sacred Child: Living Lessons
no
body knows
what goes on behind
closed doors curtains
like shields
pushing back the extent
of trying
to live day by day
wondering
what in this world
is true
what in this world
is pure
what in this world
is
one’s own creation
then
behind closed doors
sits
mute
children
nonverbal though
one shouts
fuck
eyes speak pain
rocking
grunting
twitch
as if trying desperately to turn off
switch
stinging
silent
they sit
in school
walls cement
grays and blues of institutional
decor
deplore
no joy
no play
no love
displayed
confinement
silent
they rage
silent
parents
wonder
how
beautiful perfect babies
became
suddenly
retarded
more shamed
they remain
silent
as the boys grow into
men in diapers
disregarded
caged maybe
forgotten
then
silent
is condemnation for the rest of us
letting this be
silent
as the ekg
keeping track of the beat of society
notes definitive spikes
of silent
heart
attacks
Carol Lewis:
As a student I felt the diminishing of my soul. As a parent, I know the disgust of watching my son suffer. As a teacher, I tried to change the system from within and found myself covered in slime and muck in the belly of the beast. I did my best there as my hair turned gray and my muscles atrophied. I stayed as I saw the hurt of the children, growing much deeper than my own. Then the lockdowns and zoom became an IV drip in my veins to wake the fudge up. Sacred Child: Living Lessons is my service to the children and families. I provide an innovative foundation of unschooling, homeschooling and powerful narratives and verse for affirmation, confirmation and fertile growth of soulful presence and purpose.
”I look forward to working and shining with you.”

Part of our 4 ‘Sees’ Forum –
We are enticing, let’s say, others to the same, that is contribute their art!
Let’s join together then, here in this forum, in practical ways that can be shared, starting with comments, growing into conversations, flowering into contributions of ideas, dreams, projects, works of all kind, Art, and other expressions of a people who intend to make their freedom theirs, to live a wonderful life, together.
There are already many helping and working with us, some seen, some unseen and as yet mysterious. It is our life’s work: to see a Beautiful World Become A Reality.
Our Intent is aligned with Life itself, growing, loving and free.
