Array ( [sid] => 178842 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Devil Ain't Got No Clothes [time] => 2014-07-19 22:45:08 [hometext] => You can’t get any more special than children and I learned a long time ago that when it comes to incite they are damn special. [bodytext] => I pray for the children
For they can see.
I pray for the children
Because I believe.
It’s the children
They walk us through the night.
They know
The devil ain't got no clothes.

I see him a coming
And I think he’s a friend.
I let him walk up
And then it all begins.
The faith of the children
Will let me see.
I see the devil
He ain't got no clothes.

You tell me the children
Are born into sin.
I say it's a lie
That comes from mortal men.
You give them power
They hold over you.
You have to see the devil
He ain't got no clothes.

I'll tell you about
The shape that you're in.
You see the children
Are from the light within.
I tell you the children
Are born with no sin.
I say the devil
He ain't got no clothes

Yes it’s the children
That will save us all.
Borne with no sin
They will never fall.
The devil can never
Harm you again.
I say the devil
Ain't got no clothes.

I like this poem, plain and simple.

Allowing for the elasticity poems grant to ideals, I feel caddish in pointing out that children grow up and become adults.

If they are going to save us, then why didn't WE save us when we were kids? You're right, the devil ain't got no clothes, but by the time we can do something about it, we believe he is indeed clothed.

A great write and sorry for the splitting of hairs. I think a poem is in order on this notation of mine in conjunction with yours. Good food there.

A lovely write which brings me so much sadness because it is a reminder of the children of our little island and the hell and horror they have been enduring lately...
Thanks for sharing... Keep them coming
