Teen Ink Blogs



By CATHARINE L., Belmont, MA

   





they see the same thing

every night on TV

people hurting people hurting people

was this really meant to be?

what are their values

what are their dreams

i say what are their thougthts

what do the children think

do we seem almighty

in this harsh new world war

carelessly killing brothers killing people

is this what life is for?

how do they see us

do they still care

i say what are their thoughts

what do the children think

oh what can we tell them

to justify our cruelty

do you think they believe us

sit back and wait and see

we tell them we love them

we say we know best -

stop lies and hatred

and let love do the rest
