MY FUTURE CHILD My Future child hear my word,
imperfection is not absurd.
Iniquity is not something to fear,
for you are stronger than it, my dear.
Devote your life to all that is pure,
and feelings of rage will die will time as a cure.
Simplicity can ease the chaos in your life,
and love will kill all of your strife.
Your sole existence is what I cherish,
and my bliss will be based on one wish:
That you will grow into a creature of great success.
I end with a promise to bestow you with the very best.

SILENT NIGHT Gentle clouds drop heavenly snowflakes from above.
Shyly they melt away when touched with a tender hand.
Children catch the intricate designs on their warm tongues.
Lovingly families come together and peacefulness is in the air.
But in the grim future...
Those velvet clouds may turn to dust.
Those creamy white snowflakes may turn to charcoal black.
Confused families never speak again,
gun shots echo in the smog filled air,
a gruesome murder every second.
No one will be jolly,
No one will even care,
No one will be alive,
It will be a silent night.
