Children

Men are creatures of greed
They know what they want
But not what they need
Too much time they spend

Envious of other's wealth
Plotting their revenge as the years go by
And their hair turns grey
But the children are different

Innocence still lighting up their sky
Youth still guiding them along
The path of stars and smiles
They are somehow hidden from the world

And man's twisted ways
From trickery and lies
Soon they will be dragged into our mess
And we are the ones to blame
