is hard to find
in a world
where children fear
their fathers
and mothers
sisters and brothers
their teachers
and their peers
The water is poison
Love means disease
Sunlight can kill you
And that air that you breathe...
***
Yes, life is much harder
There are fewer to trust
You must do something
To soften the
crust
Of selfdom
Of toughness
Of living alone
Forgetting to smile
And staying
at home
Get help if you need it
Keep your spirit alive
You need to take action
For the child to survive.
