Third World Debutante

Chances are her eyes are brown,
her hair is black
and it tumbles down.
A single flower rides her ear,
her string of pearls
is a bandolier,
and at twelve she's come of age...
or maybe eight,or ten


Third world little girl debutante
your days are long
but your life is not.
Your eyes have seen what no eyes should see,
where is humanity.......?
poor third world debutante.

Chances are her skin is brown,
she wears no shoes
and she has no gown.
The SOCIAL REGISTER is pain,
the counted dead
with forgotten names,
and at twelve she's come of age...

she's lived an age by ten


Third world little girl debutante
your days are long
but your life is not.
Your eyes have seen what no eyes should see,
where is humanity........?
poor third world debutante.

Dearest child...
Your mother died in the last night raid,
and still you try to smile.
Your brother clings to your milk-less breast,
a mortar crushed your father's chest,
but freedom's price is never paid.
Dearest child can you ever smile?

Third world little girl debutante,
your days are long
but your life is not.
Third world debutante.
Dearest child can you ever smile?
Poor third world debutante.

@tps607 in music to me, perfect is something that grabs you shakes you and leaves you feeling you touched something special, so in this sense, it's PERFECT
