Children

The children are lost

And sadly to their cost

Are very quickly tossed

On life’s mountainous scrap heap.

 

What chances have they

To ever say

I don’t want to stay

On life’s mountainous scrap heap.

 

Without a voice

Or even a choice

They can never rejoice

On life’s mountainous scrap heap.

 

Very soon they’ll see

There is no key

To set them free

Of life’s mountainous scrap-heap

 

A short life they’ve had

And how very sad

To think they will add

To deaths mountainous scrap heap.
