the children



The children
Innocent in their minds
Cheery eyes wonderful friends
They don’t count
Colors of the skin

The cheery cries
Mixing amongst themselves
In their minds they have friends
Sharing the enduring friendship

When they attend schools
They are told the difference
The seeds of division
The cheery eyes disappear

Friendship of the young
It turns upside down
When adults’ minds determine
The road to nation building
