Do you really think that they are C H I L D R E N

Or were they stirred and bubbled from a C A U L D R O N

Beautiful as Babies, terrors as Tots

Painted Teenagers with tempers hot

You love them, wanna return them, yet, without them life is pure doldrum!

..................................................................................................................

This world is fast becoming a great big melting pot

For the young, and the not so young, I worry quite a lot

We must make them see a future life

Where beauty still lives, not terror and strife

Remind the young that no matter what, they are the cream of the crop.
