This is no world for a child
Can’t you see the dangers?
Keep them safe from the blaze
That’s been igniting for ages
I know your belly yearns
Your heart holds space for the babe
But this is no world for a child
And a child ain’t ready for that pain
But isn’t that the point, though?
War erupts in every quiet corner
Someone’s, or everyone’s, son or daughter
Kindness traded for betrayal and torture
And the documentaries will be brilliant
Entertainment and rage our only resilience
If I hate you and you hate me equally
No one can claim just a little bit
But that cunt signing the legislation
Is a right little shit
So again, why bring children into it?
Because that first wail brings vibration
Erupts the atmosphere
Every little finger and toe
Grasps more than we do here
Let him suckle, heal the mother
Feel his breath until hers flows clear
For every evil exists a counter weight
A snoozing cot that day breaks for
So why don’t we keep bringing more?
Flood the earth with something pure
Something sweet, soft and darling
I look at my son, as he shimmies, smiling
Now this is love, I’m realising
No other word for it, than blinding
If the world is burning
Let the lovely ones feel that warmth
Let them witness baking sunshine
And intergalactic storms
I carried mine, I hold him in tight clutch
Just like you cling to yours.
