Bitter tongue invading Biting into our homes – The facile embrace of death On our screens The blast, the rage of Time past Intruding on our privacy Making unwelcome calls on our judgment 24/7 A whole generation reeking of violence Unwitting victims of the game of power – Our children, living on lies Soaking fancied mirrored countenances Of fashion, frills and farce – Our future In limpid pools of red Smoking pots of ignorance No! No dead ends It’s not too late To save our language – Humanity, children of Time present and future Let’s rewrite the songs of innocence You and me Together « return. |
