Just a Scratch - Copyright M.Ziza 2003


See a man as he walks through a window
And a window-sill stained in red
Past a boy, who hides in his mother
Holds a silk scarf to his head

And there is pain in the room
He dances past the two.....
He falls.

Struggle up to your feet in the kitchen 
I'll see you-ou right  my boy
though all this time while I've sat in the corner
Never once did you catch my eye

And there is shame in the room


Watch his life as it flows down the plug hole
Like he's seen in the years gone by
It's OK she says holding him gently
Life's a scratch as you'll soon to find

And there is, Hope in the air...
