Let the Kids Play

Kids in the park at play

They do not judge in anyway

They don't distinguish

By race, colour or faith

All they want is just to play

And have some fun

So when does this change

Who teaches them to go separate ways

And decide to judge others as different from them

Who is it that instills this in them in the end

Who posits this life of pretence

To believe in any form of separation and division

Is a foolish person

Those who teach children about racism

As being a good thing surely lacks wisdom

And probably lacks self belief

To teach kids this stupid belief

That race, colour and faith matter at all

All kids want to do is play happily

Without barriers to impede

If we can stop kids straying from this

If we can teach them at all costs to resist

Those ignorant people who try Infecting their brains

With the stupid ideas that we are not all the same

Let the kids play and retain

The simple idea that we are all equal and the only thing to fear

Is those who try to separate and seek to divide

Let kids play in a way that unites

Stop polluting their minds with you ignorant 

A kids pure mind is to be worshipped

And we could all learn so much from the mind of a child

Living happy and united and free running wild

And enjoying life in an innocent way

So leave the child to play

And encourage them to stay that way

Through every age

And peace will then follow

As we unite everyday

And throw the old ideas right away

And all just because we allowed the kids to play

Without trying to alter or change

The belief that we are all one

That we are all the same.
