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 had some more ideas. Here is a rewrite.

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

Only the best (second version)

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 becoming 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
