I wrote this for a friend way back in 1975.
Wow, that was a while ago!
It came out very quick and I didn't even try to edit it. Enjoy.

Children

Natural to grow
Instinct to love
Taught to learn
Someone above
War has destoyed life
And also their pride
People have shoved them
And turned them aside
Why does this happen?
No one does know
For as this goes on
Half of them go

Hey Board, Children are what life's all about.
Welcome to Dark Passions.
I did a pieace on chilren about a month ago call "Vacient Eyes"

I look forward to more post from you.
Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

A brill first post

Welcome to the darkness
Welcome to my world

Walter

  Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

Welcome to Passions!!!!   Loved this first post, children are the light and hope for the future!! Well done!!

 At last I have heard the song of enlightenment.... In your heart you can hear it now, if you listen....
It is the song your spirit has been singing since the moment of your birth. All lasting victories are won in the heart....
