THE KNOWLEDGABLE CHILD

i always see- i don't know why -
if any person's going to die
that's why nobody talks to me.
there was a man who came to tea,

and when i saw that he would die
i went to him and said 'good-bye',
i shall not see you anymore
he die that evening. then next door,
they had a little girl; she died
nearly as quick, mummy cried

and cried, and ever since that day
she made me promise not to say
but folks are still afraid of me,
and, where ther're children, nobody
will let me next or nigh to them
for fear i'll say good-bye to them

[thoughts]: i saw two shooting stars last night
i wished on them but they were only satellites
it's wrong to wish on space hardware
i wish , i wish , i wish you'd care.
