They don’t like to see the darkness
Since the Darkness brings their
Eerie memories back
Making them eternal mourners
They don’t want people
To photograph them whilst playing
As they aren’t happy
Though they pretend to be so
They don’t want outsiders to disturb them
Since they want to be alone with their own
Until the dawn of a new world
Wherein there is no soldiering and warring
They hint us the plight they’ve undergone
Yet never ask us to be worried over theirs
Certainly,
They yearn for love and affection
Though they hardly show it to the outer world
Indeed,
They yearn for love and affection
