Harry the Moon (Free verse) by Mimi & Vincent When you look upon the sky
Harry the Half Moon is saying hi
Little Mimi ask him why
Why do people live and die
Harry reponds with a hopeless sigh
Don't ask don't ask don't ask me why
I would rather live and die
Sing, dance, work to taste real life
Inquisitive Mimi persists to ask Harry why
Why do people live and die
Babies love to give out a mid-night cry
Sex and violence posioned teenagers' spine
Money and status make one's blind
Tumors and sickness could deprive our pride
People live and then close their eyes
Why why why and why
Up the ladder:
My Mother on Her Honeymoon
Down the ladder:
Gravity
