Mothers should know

no one comes out to play today
I have called for Johnny but
He is not home, Ben and Holly
Sit the naughty stair and
Mothers should know
that that... is not fair

Belinda has to stay in, mourne
her great aunt Tillie... father said
apparently, she has to care
and mothers should know
that that... is not fair

the sun shines downΒ 
on me alone, these empty streets
to roam alone
but mother calls...
For shopping prepare!
and mother should know
That that...is not fair!

Nobody never understood that nothing is ever fair... they just act like everyone else and force others to this... If they had a great power they forced it to many but the ones who didn't, forced it to their children... that's a tragedy on its own...Β 
great writing... loved itΒ
