Suffer Little Children Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Jesus said, 'Let the little children
come to me, and do not hinder
them, for the kingdom of heaven
belongs to such as these.'

And he said: 'I tell you the truth,
unless you change and become
like little children, you will never
enter the kingdom of heaven.”

What then does it mean
if a grown woman entreats
to her house little children
to a few gives candy sweets

just to plan torment
a three year old child
who does not understand
this women in her heart

plans these deeds from heart
that must rage at the parents
of an innocent three year old
child who cannot understand?

What then does it mean
if publicly her husband
claims this is their right
and neighbours are silent?
