Grains of Sand |
Games Without Frontiers Peter Gabriel |
Some kids were playing at the beach They each made sand castles Defending them saying... "This is mine!" |
They kept their castles separate. And would not allow any mistakes about which was who's. |
When the castles were finished one jealous child kicked over another's, spoiling all the other's work. |
The other child flew into a rage. He pulled the jealous child's hair and punched him in the face. |
He called out to the others, saying, "He ruined my castle! Come, all of you, and help me to give him the punishment he deserves!" |
The other children came to help him. They beat the jealous child, and completely destroyed his castle. |
Once done, they went back to playing in their own sand castles. |
Each child proclaimed, "This is my castle! No one else can have it. Stay away!" |
Eventually, the sun began to set and it started getting dark. The children thought about going home. |
No one thought about their sand castle. No one cared anymore. |
One child kicked hers over. Another pushed his down with both hands Still another just stamped all over it. |
They turned their backs and walked away, heading back home for dinner. They forgot all about the sand castles. |
Enjoy
