"Lullaby baby/ whats in the hay/ the neighbor's kids whine/ But mine are happy/ Their clothes are all ripped up/ made from the earth/ cut from the clothing an angel has worn/ neighbors kids don't eat/ But you eat cake/ Suppose you don't like it/ All you have to do is speak up/ Lullaby baby/ What's that in the hay/ One kid stays in Poland/ and the other is nowhere to be found"]]> 2018-12-04 09:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_higgins1/MotherCourage12/wish/310795778 ryan_higgins1 https://padlet.com/ryan_higgins1/MotherCourage12/wish/310800920 The Peasant: "If you didn't leave your kid then maybe she'd still be here."]]> 2018-12-04 09:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_higgins1/MotherCourage12/wish/310800920 ryan_higgins1 https://padlet.com/ryan_higgins1/MotherCourage12/wish/310801134 *disregarding all passive aggressive comments about her parenting*

The Peasant: "Don't worry about that, we'll handle everything and make sure that she gets a proper burial.

"With all of its luck and all of its danger/ The war is dragging on a bit/ Another hundred years or longer/ The common man won't benefit/ His food is filthy, no soap to shave his face/ The army steals half of his pay./ Tomorrow is another day!/ The new year is here.
