A child cries not only for being alone
Awaiting sleep on another Christmas eve
The cold walls and floor of an empty home
And it’s life the child now wants to leave
Where now the promise of Peace on Earth
All the joy and peace the Angels have said
While the childs’ mother lies at the fires’ hearth
Life given up to the idea of better off dead
Where now for the child the goodwill of men
The memories of their abuses still too fresh
Watching the mother raped by one and by ten
Her screams and the mangled purple flesh
What brotherhood here for a child to enjoy
Watching mother killed and offered a toy
How she prayed to her Angels for a quick release
Take me now my life to a better true Paradise
Their is none in life but in death I will find peace
No promises of Angels to any child are seen wise
How can a child be led to believe such a lie
That beyond life in death Heaven to reside
The failings of man given to their own evil alibi
Angels and Peace in Heaven in a false witness they hide
Do not fill your childs’ head and heart with such evil
That the beauty of an Angel or Heaven is real
There is only one truth, in the thought lies the Devil
When your child suicide to get there how will you feel
No Peace on Earth in the lie of an Angels’ call
The Truth here and now before all come to fall.

Thanks Sally . It is sometimes to clear that a child does not and can not understand what we adults teach as a reality, that is something different… xoxox
