Children First

Your dark brown eyes, dearest child
Are always blue like diaphanous sky
Are made of topaz, gold and fairy wings
And have the simplicity of spherical things

Child , your joyfulness, is our first command,
our thirst and our glory
There are many children who cannot talk to us
Because they are unborn, but also there and real

There are many children who cannot play and smile to us
Because starvation, drugs ,corruption ,hate and war
mutilated their brains and entire life.
Before money, health and romance,
you are the first priority

Dearest creature who came to us, on Earth
From angels transparencies through air and breath
Your soul is clear as clear mountain streams
And Love is the origin of your childish dreams

Child, your future is in our hand

So, we need to understand
Your needs are first, although you don’t complain
You are not unable to express yourself.

This is us who can’t get what you may necessitate
And always adult world is leaving you at the end.

Which is your sea, which is your sand
Your bay, your universe, your better place to stand

There are many children who are far away from us
In other city, without bread, an awful panorama
They are awaiting for solidarity from other countries
But yet there is not a Global Law against their drama

Child, your future is in our hand
So, we need to understand
Which is your sea, which is your sand
Your bay, your universe, your better place to stand

Child , your joyfulness, is our first command,,
our thirst and our glory
Before money, health and romance,you ought to be our first priority
