Oh Dear Child!

Oh dear child! 

Innocent teary eyes

grief stricken face

you look everywhere with fear

and with feelings of helpless pain!

when you should be playing with dolls 

and dancing in the rain!

Neither do you like to wear new dresses

nor sing, laugh, and play with the toy train!

Oh my dearest sweet child!

please forgive us

all we men

for we have made this world

fit for only guns, bombs and acid rain!
