Little Feet

Now hear the beat Of all their little feet. A note for every single pain Of dreams shoved down the drain. As their soles meet the dirt Their hearts race with hurt And betrayal that feels so real Compared to life that’s turned surreal. You warn them that life is rough And they pray to God you are enough To save them from nightmares And incubus that cause their tears. But you never cease to fail To be the hammer to the nail On their sarcophagus of life And the one to cause their strife. So kiss your little one goodnight And don’t hold on too tight. ‘Cause before you know it, They see the crimes you commit. And you’ll be sending them on their way To the trail of decay.
