Our Children

Let them be free

After all they are pieces of our hearts

Do not spread the hate-seeds

After all they are the hope

Let them be free

Let them be happy

Let them live in peace

After all they are our children

Don’t sicken them by the hate-scene

Show them blueness of sky

             brightness of sun

             softness of clouds

                     The ground

Let them be

Don’t fascinate them by the thickness of the trunk

Roots will reveal the real

Let them be cool – on fresh air

Let them feel the music

             joy of love

             nice of the rain

             warmth of the sun

After all they are our children

Their thought, let them have it

Teach them light

Way of life, let them explore 

Painful shame of the past

   –   born free

            not Muslim

            not Jewish

           Christian, Buddhist ...

Let them be free

Let them see the beauty

Name it ground zero

   Human cruelty signature

     You show them over over over

      Shame! Shame – be ashamed of oceanic hate!

Let them be free

Show them nice of blooms – the knowledge

   Not – rotten old habits

Let them live in harmony, love, respect

After all they are the fruits of our loves

Let hate be dust

   Settled and vanished in the mist

      Love is coming – hugging the rain

                             – on tip of snowflakes

                     Falling dancing deep in sky

Love is holy, should be blessed

                      vast into horizon

Don’t be silly – kindness cannot be sacrificed

Look out completion upon love

Heaven everywhere, not promised

   You don’t have the key

          They don’t need the key

             Rain of love is the one

Let their intellect be crystal

    They will break, through, old thought

Don’t keep them in

     Let them be free

            Let them love

Cool down your thought

Let them play

Searching – way of life

     This is their moment

After all they are our love
