However, what worries me no end as a parent are the wolves that … Continue reading Children and Saftey

Zombie

http://swatisani.net/music/cranberries_zombie.mp3 Another head hangs lowly, Child is slowly taken. And the violence caused such silence, Who are we mistaken? But you see, it’s not me, it’s not my family. In your head, in your head they are fighting, With their tanks and their bombs, And their bombs and their guns.
