Hide and Seek

I lived on a plateau

with the kids of the plains

played till the moon rose

never knew any pains

They hid in the shadows

and I called out their names

they showed up sometimes

Oh those lovely games

The huts had no lights

save for the lantern flames

and before the sun rose

The beams of the goods trains

Crickets and birds

Chirped in the night light

We knew no reason

No sins and no Fight

And then

The kids of the plains

Went hiding someplace

Now I call out their names

But they left me no trace

Not by the boulders

nor behind any door

and there is no sign

Of those days anymore.

I call out for them

But my sounds die in the noise

of money and sinister

And they dont hear my Voice
