The Months and the Years
How deftly pass
the months and the years
all shrouded in a veil of tears
And as they pass
the young ones grow
with burning hatred
being all they know
For watching their world
everything they love
being burned in the fire
that is rained from above
Care we not for
the future of these
these ones who each night
are down on their knees
these who are left
with no families
No loved ones to hold
to keep them nightly
safe from the cold
and hold them tightly
To draw them close
and dry all their tears
as deftly pass
the months and the years
