Where Children Learn Fear


Children learn fear
from those around them.

Adults who live in fear
raise adults who live in fear.

Fear thrives in isolated lives.
Community hacks it at the roots.

  1. Song: How Children Learn

    They see the chalky bones
    Of limbs split from trees
    And hear tortured groans
    Of wind against their knees.

    They fling themselves about
    The darkest edge of earth
    And screech and romp and shout
    In games that mimic death.

    Their parents age and turn
    Against each other’s love
    With little left to earn
    When push comes to shove.
