Explanation:

The Children's song is a poem written by R S Thomas. The poet describes the disparity between the worlds of children and adults. He describes the children's world as that which is too small for the adults to fit in. He says no matter how closely the adult pays attention to unravel the relationship and secrets amongst children, they cannot understand, because it is a world far apart from theirs. He also describes the cunningness of children that cannot be matched by the attempt of man to figure it out.

Check the poem below:

We live in our own world,

A world that is too small

For you to stoop and enter

Even on hands and knees,

The adult subterfuge.

And though you probe and pry

With analytic eye,

And eavesdrop all our talk

With an amused look,

You cannot find the centre

Where we dance, where we play,

Where life is still asleep

Under the closed flower,

Under the smooth shell

Of eggs in the cupped nest

That mock the faded blue

Of your remoter heaven.

nobody can answer this if you dont show us the shapes

but it does not cost our pride. it does not cost the guilt that would arise from knowing that we did nothing to intervene while our neighboring nations fell to despotic leaders.

it does not cost the terror of knowing that our allies are unstable. it does not cost the fear that we, too, will be next to fall.
