Little children,
little boys, little girls,
can't we all just be
our own little boy/our own little girl.

When did we lose?

Why do our tragedies
mark the passing of time?
When did our evil be
more appealing then the good?

Can you see?
Can you see?
Bottles of beer,
run and hide little girl.
Cover the scars,
yes cover the scars

for we lost long ago.

Little children,
little boys, littles girls,
can't we all just be
our own little boy/our own little girl.

This piece was very true.  Thanx for sharing.  I believe that all of us have a memory of a scene like this and if you don't you are one of the lucky ones.  Nice work.

Titus:

So, it's like that? ^^
Quite liked this one. Must be the whole child-like theme. Innocent in a haunting kind of way, but thoroughly enjoyed. ^_^
The only thing that kind of ruined the flow was where you have the "/". Maybe I'm being to literal and maybe I just "overly read" everything, but the"/"...would it work if you maybe took out the slash and just chose one? Or use one for the first one, and the other for the second? Or use "our own little child"? Actually, now that I think of it, it won't work. Meh. Just leave it. I don't know what I'm talking about anymore... ._.

But I really liked this one. ^_^ Aww, you're getting to be quite the poet! ^^ WRITE MORE! XD
