The Pawn in the Game

The most delicate of all. They who give unconditional love with a giggle and a cry. They who brought about the continuation of mankind. Who play without the nagging reminders of responsibility. It is they who are pushed left and right until all that is left is a husk. It is they who become a target when you speak too loud. Screams of we must do it to protect them bound off the walls in an endless echo of deception. Heard throughout history like a clue to what comes next. Children, the pawn in the game.
