[hometext] => I got the inspiration for this work, when I saw the lines of patiently waiting children in the sudan on television.
[bodytext] => For hate to be replaced by good for gins to be replaced by food, for countries to reclaim their lands from evil men with blood stained hands, the child stands waiting.. For love and kindness to prevail to put an end to misery's tale, for gentle arms to mend his pain to nurse him back to health again, the child stands waiting.. He stands and waits with silent eyes that look upon a world of lies, he knows he's heard it all before the calm before the cannons roar, but still he stands and waits.. He's waiting for compassion to rule the hearts of men, he hopes that it will come one day but wonders how, or when, and so he stands and waits.. His dignity could teach us all to live in peace as one, until the day that love prevails his waiting will go on, and so he stands and waits...
