daddy? MAG
May 26, 2010
A balloon,
There in the sky,
A red splash in the blue,
A boy asks;
“Why does it fly, Daddy?”
A cloud,
There in the sky,
A sailing shadow in the light,
A boy asks;
“Why does Mum cry, Daddy?”
A plane,
There in the sky,
A bird tossed amongst stars,
A boy asks;
“Why do men lie, Daddy?”
A bomb.
There in the sky.
A crash of white against black.
A boy breathes;
“I don't want to die, Daddy.”
