Pity For the Children

Pity the little children
Pity the little children being taught to hate 
With promises that paradise for them await 
Why should the Lord reward those who His character negate 
Woe to those who thus the innocent children agitate 

The children should be taught to play smile laugh enjoy and bless 
To love others - race, color, religion, gender regardless 
Taught love Joy peace patience and faithfulness 
kindness goodness self control and gentleness 

Taught white black and all the skin colours in between 
Are only skin deep as is all features that are seen 
Should live in honesty and peace and not be mean 
And to help others and to share be always keen 

Taught that no one deserves rape and slavery 
That protecting the weak is real bravery 
That God is not pleased with murder and thievery 
That admirable are love gentleness and chivalry 

For the hate indocrinated children its too late 
But will the new generation be also lost to hate 
will terrorism, rape, murder, slavery never abate 
Come quickly Prince of Peace and this world liberate
