Lullaby

[Aiculík]

They say I’m just a small child
that I can’t possibly understand it
that I’m young and that I’m silly
but long ago I discovered
what they will never have to know:
what is hunger and poverty
what is fear and darkness
through dust and sand
I walk quite alone
they say they try to protect me
to change the colour of my future
but I don’t care any more
if something happens it had to happen
hope faded away - feels like centuries ago
and feelings followed it next day
they say what terrible words
from someone still so young
but more terrible
are weapons
war and hunger three times more
they never saw anything
and now they want to lecture me
want to tech me love and happiness
and how to forgive
how to become valid member
of our great society
– suddenly I’m their son! and brother! –
... but I simply can’t forget
... and I simply cannot love – –

Interesting... Keep it up.

it is interesting. i like what you're saying.

if perhaps you could show us more and be less 'telly' that would be awesome also. concrete imagery in a situation like this really takes a piece from good to great.
