While the children sleep
I learn from my immediate elders who taught me
the good, the bad and the ugly;
however, my strength is hiding deep within.
If only the pain weren’t so severe.
An ugly duckling who suffers Verbal and physical abuse
From the cool, pretty crowds of clueless incompetent?
You with your tawny hair, they often shout
Flat jacks with granny strap
String beans without the lean
So cruel; so mean those terrorist sounds
That goes round and round on the playground
While the children sleep through the night
I play with night flyers
Golden wings and friendly flittering smiles we dance,
Into Twinkling lights of the meadow;
Late at night without the feuds or the abuse of the inferiors
I got teary eyes as I say farewell to my misty friends
Bigotry and hatred, Playgrounds terror,
Children of the cornfields rules the inner cities school
Throughout kindergarten into high school
You must process the Skill of a tiger, speed of a leopard
Going to school going isn’t any fun anymore
This is the day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: the
The children are coming to birth and there is not strength
To bring forth:(bibical)
