The songs of children

The songs of children are no longer songs of innocence.
They are songs of grief.
Songs of loss.
Songs of poverty.
Songs of hunger.
Songs of abuse.
Songs of estrangement and separation.
Songs of blood and guns.
Songs of ignorance.
Songs of hate.
Songs of disease.
Songs of the forgotten.
Songs of fear.
They are no longer songs of innocence.
