A Baby's Courage

Nowhere to run, nowhere to breathe And grasses are on fire. The manly beasts are having their fun For they have nothing to spare. All the victims, coiled with each other, No matter who is rich, who is poor. The earth is crying and the devil is smiling For there is none to cure. A mother with a baby in her lap, Running......the death is so sure. One of the beast appeared from nowhere And smashed her on the ground. She was crying and crying and begging her life, But the fate didn't turn around. And then came the flash of gun And there laid the lady dead. The cruel has crashed through Her trembling and sweating forehead. The beastly pig was about to laugh, While he stopped with a gaze. While everyone was struggling in horror, The baby was laughing in hi face
