A CHILD LIVEING IN THE CITY (Additnal Lines)

A child living just one day at a time
All round children like her die
By the day - bullets - bomb's
Barrel bomb's drop
The child as no dreams - no plans
What would be the point!?

But in her city there is a secret library
The child's favorite story ; Little Red Riding Hood
Her mother loved her child to read that story to her
A library of knowledge

The Library were well hidden for a while - eventually it were found
The books were sold on the streets outside the embattled city
Books that takes readers to another plain
Of thought & thinking - away from all the
Carnage that were in the child's city
The child now a young woman escape - now studying reading books
