A Civilised Child, Lost for Moments
Into the unblinking eyes of children
Half-truths are flashed
Into their accepting ears
Poisonous lies are fed
out of Innocence they descover untruths
And cease to trust
Even those who ever
Over them fussed
In their minds, no right or wrong
Except for "mine!"
Into their outreaching hands
Pour belongings, unchecked
They are given everything! They are given nothing
And now they are gone
