God Save the Children

By RavenCross

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Dear God what have I done There's blood everywhere On the wall and on my hands I heard screaming but now it's fading God Save the Children Who haven't been corrupted yet God Save the Children Who know not better than to walk in my footsteps I don't remember much of it All I know is there was chaos and there was pain Everybody everywhere put their lives on hold To find out how things would end God Save the Children Who's souls are still free and remain untainted God Save the Children That the world hasn't gotten to yet Now I know I'm not the only one who'll never be the same Seems like the whole world is up in arms I can't look forward After all here the blind lead the blind God Save the Children The ones who aren't yet slaves but still need to be set free God Save the Children Who haven't died and who haven't killed By the end when it's all been said and done And the walls are washed and my hands heal When people walk these halls will they know All the screams and all the blood this place has seen God Save the Children Who look at the world and don't understand God Save the Children Who didn't cry when I took this place down in flames Teach them how to cry Written November 23rd, 2001 © on Nov 23 2001 01:14 PM PST   0 • 10
