From a child's eye

Twinkle Twinkle
little star

How I wonder
why we are

Always at war
killing each other

Or watching our dads
hurting our mothers

Or that guy on the corner
with his drugs and money

Giving it to kids
and thinking it's funny

Or bringing a gun
in their bags to school

Just because they
think it's cool

Little Bo Peep
may have lost her sheep

But kids today
lose respect and sleep

Because the world
doesn't really care

being born into this world
today just isn't fair

So as I burn
this candle bright

And pray I make
it through the night

I will also pray
to the world so unfair

That we end this hatred
and replace it with love and care
