Children We Are All
children,children
children we are all
God is our Father;God is All
today we sleep in bed;
tomorroe we sleep in graves
so,why there`s so much violence,fightings
hatred and gall?
we have got only one sun,and one accompanying
moon-the borrower of sun
only a sky,only a globe
but alas!we`re so rash,we`re so thoughtless
and belligerent;we leave no stones unturned
to destroy ourselves
we turn whatever green into grey;we bar river
we break mountains;denude we forests
bare we landscapes;we put bricks,metals,glass
and alienate ourselves from our Mother Earth
though we`re the same children of the same
God;we give ourselves bad designations,names
