We'd last - they say

It's be fine - they say!

Its always lies

A snippy ball game toying with out thoughts and minds

School'll be fun - they say

It'll be done before you know it - they say!

Children don't like us

They don't understand us

They think they know what happens in our minds

A total lie

They cheat and still at fault is us!

Don't give up - they say

We love you - they say!

You don't speak for your throat is cotton

You pretend to listen - yet it leaves your ears

You don't know what we want - we scream!

We have no voice! - we cry

Children meant to be silent....

But for how long?

How long must we be quiet?

Count times life...

Too long and an eternity to go
