Children
Children
 
 Singing, moving without shadows
 breathing life like wind
 Cold nights
 Warm days
 Playing in the frail light
 as leaves twirl like a tornado
 noone speaks of hate
 Love
 It exists only in emotions
 
 Days go by like a 4th of July
 Teardrops fall like rain in a Sahara desert
 The honest lies wash like rain
 The evil lies jut out from under mattresses like knives
 But children,
 Have no knives to sleep on
 
 Quiet youth
 Climbing trees
 Drowned fear
 Under basins of dreams
 The heavens radiate with spirit
 The ground,
 Full of life and mystery,
 and their eyes,
 are like looking into the sun,
 Blinding.
 
 No black days seen
 Just bright lights
 No hatred seen
 Just love,
 No beauty destroyed before their eyes,
 The only innocent souls left
 Are the ones untouched by human hands
 Let them be tampered
 become the majority
 give up your joy
 for black days
 Children
 dreaming of resolutions
 Solutions
 And an overall end to the cause

Try not to linger on the bad aspects in life even though it's often easiest since there are so few good aspects. But cherish those few and you will see the joy life can bring. Overcome the dark with light.

Why must the bounds of love and hate continually be so muddled?
