Of course we want your children
we want to bring them up in a loving realm
void of the fear we have grown old with/
Of course we want your children
we want to bring them home to faeries
gentle people/ frolicking beings
bathing in the mountains' runoff
running off to develop inwardly
the secret person hidden
beneath translucent skin/

a child smiles
powerful/ blossoming wild
flowers in high pastures
feeling at one with the mother
bubbling streams for life's aftermath

Of course we want your children
we'd put them to better use
than you would at war
finding children good scouts
then better soldiers
till/ they underdeveloped
reach a premature rest
in your best cemetery plots/

Yes we do/
we want your children
we want them to have themselves
we want to love them whole
within the broken bits
of your riotous world/
