IN A RED SKIRT
In a red skirt with ponytails
a small girl, alone and innocent
stood and asked - why?
and all the raging hills and all the storms
stood/stopped from their fury and did not find an answer,
stood/stopped from their fury and did not find an answer.
The animals stopped their running
a small girl, alone and innocent
stood and asked - why?
And all the lions and all the tigers
stood with their heads down and did not find an answer,
stood with their heads down and did not find an answer.
Letters stopped the lines
a small girl, alone and innocent
stood and asked - why?
And all the books and all the notepads
searched in their writings and did not find an answer,
searched in their writings and did not find an answer.
In a red skirt with ponytails
a small girl, alone and innocent
stood and asked - why?
and all the cannons and all the soldiers
and all the great ones and all the wise ones
stood pale-faced and did not find an answer
And all the raging hills and all the storms
and all the lions and all the tigers
and all the great ones and all the wise ones -
stood pale-faced and did not find an answer.
