Safe Inside
Dear Son safe inside
Your loving mother's womb,
I heard your tiny voice
When you spoke last night
You asked for freedom
You wanted to be let out
Said the womb was too small
Compared to the world outside
You want to see the world
So splendorous and so bright
Staying in darkness you cry
Let me out, I want to be free.
Dear Son, safe deep inside
Your loving mother's womb
You do not know the world
Is too scary a place for you.
The noise shall deafen you
Lights turn you blind
Greed will make you hate
Money will buy you love.
People will cause harm
Just for passage of time
Your feet will be pulled out
From under you by your pals.
The life's lost its meaning
Rivers of blood everywhere
Good gone into the earth
Rising in its place is evil.
Dear Son, safe deep inside
Your loving mother's womb
Do you want to leave peace
And come out into dust
Do you want to leave safety
For the danger lying outside?
Do you want to leave love,
For outside you'll find only hate.
Dear Son, lying deep inside
Your loving mother's womb
Come out here if you must
Put me there if you can.

The salty liquid dropped down on the paper. The words started crying themselves as the ink dissolved and ran.
