Bed Time Tales

TITLE: BED TIME TALES (SOME LIES THE OLD PEOPLE TOLD US). Bed time stories,bed time stories When I think of your memories, They were stories of glory Drying away tears of misery from the sleepy eyes What a tale we were told. O my dear talking tortoise, Falling from the sky with the beautiful cracks, O glorious little ant, The giant elephant conqueror The hunter,lion and snake, The friends of treachery tales. I know of a Mighty warrior Wat a hero he was Winning every battle riding on a horse The great warrior Gandoki, The proginator of the child man Garba. The hills of Jack and Jim We heard leaning on mother's kneels A lie a lie they told us The future leaders thing We all bought the key We were told it opens the future door Young minded souls They lied to us in roles From our parents to teachers They each took a mastery turn Killing our hearts like Brutus did Ceaser With great care we listened,as we received the key Education the key was called Yet the lock still stands today,unbreakable not even by Hudini himself.
