Children So Oblivious

Children so oblivious to everything
Laughter in the silence oh so eerie
Nobody speaks and yet they play
This happy time they dare not take
News so grim it shatters hearts
But not yet those of the children
So happily they sit and they play
Their laughter echoes in the silence
I never heard such a beautiful contrast
How I wish they’d stay like that forever.
