Emperor

Children

All the memories living 

Wanted to live more

The rooms still remain

Mattresses on the floor

Troubled by the thought 

Their sneak might get caught

The children stayed up late 

They laughed and they fought 

Through the running time

That just seems to slip away 

One can only remember 

What happened yesterday 

Time is truly guilty 

Of the murder and the theft

Men and women returned 

But not the children that left
