Little Girls Cry
Palastine,
A little girl cry's and starts to hate,
her father dead, injured by an Isreali tank,
She grows up and teaches her famliy, how to hate,
Isreal,
A little girls cry's, and starts to hate,
her father dead, killed by a Palestinian suicide bomber,
she grow's up and teaches her family, how to hate,
America,
A little girl cry's and starts to hate,
her father died, in the distruction, of the twin towers,
she grows up and teaches her family, how to hate,
Children become men and women,
ideas filter into the Church,
ideas filter into the Mosque,
ideas filter into Government,
Men take action justified by revenge,
You killed my father, you killed my son,
you are evil, I have a right,
Palastine,
a little girl cry's and starts to hate,
her father dead, killed by an American bomb,
Isreal,
A little girl cry's and starts to hate,
her father dead, killed by a bullet,
Australia,
a little girl cry's and starts to hate,
her father dead, fighting in the war,
a little girl, came up to the pope and asked,
why does God, allow people to hurt children,
God does not, allow, people to hurt children,
people will suffer for their sins,
but, he does give people, the freedom to make
decisions,
he does give people, the right to make mistakes,
todays world, is not doing well,
the decisions we make,
are not working,
we need to make,
better decisions, decisions that stop making
little girls cry,
Around and around we go,
dancing in the shadows, flame of death,
they say that money is the route of all evil,
but at times, the lack of it, is just as bad,
a little girl sold for the money,
needed, for a family to survive,
money is not a God,
but it buys the milk,
to feed a baby
creating jobs, feeds the people,
creating war, increases poverty,
the death of father's,
makes little girls cry.
one day,
perhaps we'll learn,
to make company's and jobs,
to build love not war,
to make smiles,
not tears.
