It\u2019s meant to shock
\nI feel it too
\nIt\u2019s dreadful
\nWhat people will do
\nA child knows little of the need of war
\nOf the selfish arrogance
\nAnd greedy gore
\nWe have all been children some born in war
\nAnd now years on
\nWe feel it more
\nIt is grotesque how men chiefly
\nPoliticians conduct and plea
\nTheir case each instance one side unfair
\nArrogant people unaware
\nIgnorance comes in massive shifts
\nNothing really honestly lifts
\nThe spirit less
\nThan tired old farts
\nWho rule the world
\nIn fits and starts
\nI feel for the child and her teddy bear
\nI once was a child standing there
\nOr sat in a basket on a kitchen stool
\nAs a German plane flew
\nOver my school
\nI saw the swastika on the wings
\nAnd seeing the Teddy my heart
\nJust brings
\nTears to my eyes blood to my soul
\nWhen we put old farts in complete control<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
