                    A Chant
                       -
Two ten-year old Australian  suicides in WA                                                   
		 
                      ***
Ten year-olds are children

Let them talk to their folks

Let their eyes open wide

Let their lips start smiling

Let them walk free of pain

Let them feel how much

We will aways love them.

                      ***
 A Poem [After Prévert]
		-
The  sad  suicide of two 
ten-year old Australians
                 ***
They say no with the head
they say yes with a smile
they agree with loved ones
they say no to teachers.
Sitting beside the board,
the problems yet to solve
they burst out in laughter,
and rub off the writings.
Despite the many threats
of staring  smart-arses
they draw in full colour
the face of happiness
on the whiteboard 
of adversity.
