Tell Them Daddy

Tell Them (Daddy)
	Someone on the ground
	Has to say
	I will not do this
	Distance (and remove)
	Is no longer an excuse

	Go home
	Cuddle your cradled children
	Tell them
	Tell yourself
	You are doing this for them

	Tell them 
	How there just isn't 
	Enough room
	For the children
	The children 
	On the other side

	So, they died
	You killed them
	Tell them
	Tell them
	(I will not do this)
