Who's the giants looking at me?
Who installing fear within me?
From the perspective of a child,this must be their opinion.

Why do big people act that way?
Why do they repeat, do what I say?
Not what I do?
And say, stay in a child's place.

From the perspective of a child.
Many realize they don't get their way.
Well, unless you're sick.
Then their hearts begins to melt.

What you can't have when healthy?
You get quick when you're sick.
Cake, ice cream and all sorts of sweets.

While when you healthy.
You must have breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Before you get any of the things, I mention.

Yes, from the perspective of a child.
Their world is an interesting world.
Even if they just a boy or a girl.

A child is a very question mark of a child.
Asking question , you've never thought of?
Least, many you have no answer too.

They make you think.
They make you investigate.
Especially, when it's coming from the perspective of a child.

Make me feel like, I'm loved.  Make it seem like, I really matter.  Chase away the dark clouds of doubt, hiding inside, my head, gently serve a platter of warm laughter,to my soul.  Just don't hold out all the love, I am really after. Make me feel like, I'm loved. Please don't play peek-a -boo with my delicate emotions.  You know pretense is so very much hated. But in your case, I am happy as achild that I waited. Make me feel like, I'm loved. Let the waves flow like, an unchainedocean. Only thing that I know, I never want these feelings to go. these, good. I want to throw back my headand tell all naysayers," see, I told you so." Make me, feel, like, I'm loved.

achild i was with a mind of my own
you came and snached it i just havent grown
left in me in gutter yup thats where ive been thrown
your heart so dark so cold like a piece of stone
how could you do that to your own
aching flesh and bone
that house we live in, fading in thee unknown
still stuck in the age seven, i just havent grown
rocking myself, scratching i feel so alone
hypocoristic , narcissistic, pessimistic, you wear like your fav cologne
After the earth had already been wiped clean
Five times before billions of years after  we came
Man way more interested in past than future
Once more a lost civilization man alone to blame

My own soul has told me if it all of what it knows
Once more to come we the longest time ago
And from a place still above his comprehention
He'll ask how was I back then suppose to know

Sadly badly it shall be once more be the same
Life a most precious gift we allow equals to rule
I've no doubt within my very mind woman will
Be the last remaining soul using a rock as a stool

Mans sexist racism egotisticle war loving attitudes
With half a brain he can look back this to see
But like achild bold he cannot be at all told
Cutting all just above ground and still up the tree

Families only wanting peace of mind to find
I fear not myself lived my life but children dying
Brain washed many all by religions politics
So many innocent heartbroken and crying

Nobody takes uncountable wealth with them
Not when comes the time oxygen is no more
And they'll blame their god from deep in sod
When they alone karma visits them for sure

Today achild wakes up
Without a parent
Who sacrificed their Life
A spouse looks at
an empty side of bed
Where once they lay
Who sacrificed their Life
A child does not awaken
No longer here
Who sacrificed their Life
As we sadly remember today
Let us sacrifice our Life
To the cry of others

— The End —
