It's About Children

10/8/93

Lynne Newman

It's about children,
Born soft and new,
Then treated as objects,
By adults like you!

It's about children,
Hurt by your touch;
And the children endure it...
They need you so much!

Yes, it's about children,
Confused, filled with pain;
When you tell them you love them,
But your touch creates shame!

Oh, it's about children,
Once soft and new,
Who then become adults,
As tormented as you!
