Legacy

Mothers and fathers of wounded little birds
unaware of crimes of pain and hurt
threatened, controlled, robbed and burnt
who let this happen to a flying little pearl?

A life neglected for no reason at all
one should fly free near the sun and palms
the air so clean, sea free of storms
why'd you let this happen to newborn?

Mothers and fathers of tortured little birds
you've let this happen, you've let in all this dirt
abused and crazed, is this how we grow?
Children become the parents they cried for.
