Peaceful Dream

Why are the adults always having wars?
Why are the adults hurting each other?
Why are the adults always worrying about money?
Why can't the adults get along with each other?
Why can't the adults see what the children see?
Don't the adults know to love one another?
Don't the adults know to protect the innocent minds of children?
Even though I am afraid when I sleep that I will have a bad dream,
It is only when I am sleeping can I see a peaceful world,
A peaceful world where the adults love each other.
