Thread Name: Song Challenge! Part 20
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 20
I turned the topic on to one of the saddest things in today's society. I hope I've made a point. On reading I ahd some more ideas. Here is a rewrite with line breaks.

"The woods would be silent indeed if only the best birds sang".

Only the best

My little bird is lying
Lying in her nest
My little bird is dying
Trying to be the best

My little bird is Humming
As she plays the game
Work hard on becomming
A truly famous name

Why won't my little bird sing?
Really, its such a simple thing.
What pressures and torments do we bring?

My little girl is starving
I worry bout her health
When the food is carving
she runs off by herself

Has to be so skinny
She cannot have meat
Has to wear that mini
So she just will not eat

If you could only hear her true song
Then you would know that it is so wrong
Were creating a world where children don't belong

Make her wear some make up
To catch Leanne Rhymes
Perhaps its time to wake up
because she's only nine

Put her through the grinder
Treat her like some meat
Take a key and wind her
Prime her for defeat

If you could only listen to her heart
Then you would know the hardest part
Where do you begin, and where do you start

One winner will win
the rest will all lose
How can we begin
to choose

Beauty show drama
Fame and wealth Beckoned
Imagine the trauma
When they finish a mere second

If you could only see the lie
Then you would know why young girls die
In a sad sad world its a pain to see them cry
