    Today the children cry
    Today I saw the children cry
    They cry for you
    They cry for me
    Today the children asked me why
    They asked me why
    They will ask you why
    They asked why someone wouldn’t try
    Why I won’t try
    Why you won’t try
    To make the world a better place
    Better for you
    Better for me
    To fill the world full of peace
    Peace for you
    Peace for me
    To fill the world full of love
    Love for you
    Love for me
    To create a world for a happy human race
    After you and after me
    Tomorrow you might see the children cry
    How will you answer when the ask you why?

    interesting, I guess I feel us crying more than they do, they accept what they've never known as different and we, we refuse to change it for the better-but nice sentiment

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
