Pity For the Children

Pity the little children Pity the little children being taught to hate With promises that paradise for them await Why should the Lord reward those who His character negate Woe to those who thus the innocent children agitate The children should be taught to play smile laugh enjoy and bless To love others - race, color, religion, gender regardless Taught love Joy peace patience and faithfulness kindness goodness self control and gentleness Taught white black and all the skin colours in between Are only skin deep as is all features that are seen Should live in honesty and peace and not be mean And to help others and to share be always keen Taught that no one deserves rape and slavery That protecting the weak is real bravery That God is not pleased with murder and thievery That admirable are love gentleness and chivalry For the hate indocrinated children its too late But will the new generation be also lost to hate will terrorism, rape, murder, slavery never abate Come quickly Prince of Peace and this world liberate
