teach the children

teach the children

teach the children
about witches and santa claus
teach them to obey all our laws

teach the children
the pink and blue theory
blue reaches skies
but pink is dreary

teach them science
half life and whole
teach them how to
fill the mood

teach them time
and where shadows fall
teach them freedom
backs against the wall

teach them how to be
just like you
teach them never to think
of what else there is to do
