Set Our Children Free

Most of my poems are from what can best be described as my "Blue Period", aka "The Dark Year of the Restless Soul".

Come on people, wake up

What's happening with me and you

Rape pillage and plunder

That's all we seem to do

It used to be safe

For our old and our weak

To walk the streets at night

Our children watch the news at night

Can't sleep without a light

All the chemicals and poisons

We pour into ourselves

The Surgeon General yells a warning

"Life Is Harmful To Your Health"

How about our lame-duck soldiers

El-Salvador and Lebanon

Hey there, Mr. President

Remember Vietnam?

Politicians paint a portrait

Prosperity on the rise

People just don't see it

Too much pain in the paupers' eyes

Our hatred for one another

Turn to war and bigotry

We pollute our children's minds these days

It's time we set them free

When The Children Cry
