A child is born, takes a breath
A heart beats a rhythm
behold, creation.
A child see's, a child perceives
his makers notice
his nation leads him
A child grows, A child understands
corruption can be fought
with a gun in hand.
A child, now a man
A man now afraid...
A child is born, takes a breath
A heart beats a rhythm
behold, creation
A child see's, A child perceives
His makers notice
His nation guides him
A child grows, A child understands
corruption can be fought
with a pen in hand
A child, Now a man
A man, now afraid...
A war has started, corruption prevailed
these children, now men
fight in vain
Two men cross paths, two men understand
corruption can be fought
with a gun in hand...

| oh this made me weep..my brother-in-law came home from Viet Nam having to have killed a man he looked in the eye..it was so like your poem. He said (he killed himself a year afterward.) they looked at each other as if to ask, "why?" and then he fired first.. Great Job..I look forward to not weeping at your writes..lol. |
