Unwanted lyrics

To be human

To know the world

For what is, truths

Good and bad

Beauty and ugliness

It is every man's view

To a child

It should be a world

Of imagination, aspirations

And wonder of it all

Not the realization

That they are not loved

Cast away to others

Whether mandated

Or voluntary, no difference

Selfish ways make for loss

Forgetting them so

To hear their words real

It cleaves deep within

That a child could suffer so

Without just cause

But to be only alive

Disillusioned by life

By those most dear

Even in their follies

What merit shall be given

What legacy to remain

That they who would teach them

Have taught them only pain

A hard hand and harsh words

Constant reminders - unwanted
