Sun shines pale through window |
|
Through the ghosts that dim this town |
|
Arms that hold you burn off like fog in the heat of the sun |
|
Do not mistake them for flesh and blood |
|
This girl never laughs and she does not cry |
|
For we all beam with hope for our children's bright futures |
|
Inoculating them for fictitious disease |
|
While we ignore dismal today's gray city slums |
|
This girl wears red to stand out from the smog of her city |
|
While sun shines pale through the window |
|
She wants to be civilized |
|
Laugh gray eyes cry |
|
For she will spread a new disease |
|
But don't expect to see it's victims in the news |
|
For the news always has something bad to say |
