Stolen in the night Children hushed of fright Lullaby sung Bow strung Arrow nocked and ready Hands once shaking, now steady Hush, dear ones The mortal shuns What they do not understand Beatings, mockery, barely able to withstand What they throw at us The things they discuss We are different Unique, standing out in the crowd Going against the current In mystery, we are shroud Ravens caw Tales of woe Mortals gape in awe Yet that was a time ago Now they point fingers And the terror lingers Hush, children of night They understand not our plight So spread your wings Take flight Do not accept their rings Do not be bound to them It is us they condemn Show them no mercy For never did they show any An age old controversy Stealing the lives of many For a pretty penny Rest now, children of mine You are safe and sound Rest those heads of thine They lay in their caskets in the ground Worry not my darlings; hush now Close your eyes, and drift off They are gone, it matters not how Just rest now, hush There is no rush Hush, children, hush - Jay M January 4th, 2020

Children's Hush
Stolen in the night Children hushed of fright Lullaby sung Bow strung Arrow nocked and ready Hands once shaking, now steady Hush, dear ones The mortal shuns What they do not understand Beatings, mockery, barely able to withstand What they throw at us The things they discuss We are different Unique, standing out in the crowd Going against the current In mystery, we are shroud Ravens caw Tales of woe Mortals gape in awe Yet that was a time ago Now they point fingers And the terror lingers Hush, children of night They understand not our plight So spread your wings Take flight Do not accept their rings Do not be bound to them It is us they condemn Show them no mercy For never did they show any An age old controversy Stealing the lives of many For a pretty penny Rest now, children of mine You are safe and sound Rest those heads of thine They lay in their caskets in the ground Worry not my darlings; hush now Close your eyes, and drift off They are gone, it matters not how Just rest now, hush There is no rush Hush, children, hush - Jay M January 4th, 2020
