diseased little boy
sickened and laughed at
names fly back and forth
he walks like a soldier
strong and tall
unharmed from around him
lies about him
spread from ear to ear
kicked to the ground
blood splattered around
fist are thrown
sweet little boy
life's changed
an eye for an eye
never to lie
carry those words
like a broken toy soldier
told to stay quiet
but do you do
when the toy is broken
sweet little boy
good little boy
listen to what they say
behave
carry your weapon on your shoulder
what weapon
little boy too weak to be strong
little boy can't even speak what's wrong
color blind boy don't see no colors
all he sees are tortured letters
frightened by death following his shadow
little boy's dreams crushed
by another
always told to follow the others
we ain't no animals
and we're differently ain't no toy soldier
we're told that we've concern
concord what
broken down dreams
like a cat without a mouse
the boy without a friend
falls to the end
