nd at every door But none can hear my silent tread I knock and yet remain unseen For I am dead, for I am dead. I'm only seven, although I died In Hiroshima long ago. I'm seven now, as I was then. When children die, they do not grow. My hair was scorched by swirling flame; My eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind. Death came and turned my bones to dust, And that was scattered by the wind. I need no fruit, I need no rice. I need no sweets, not even bread; I ask for nothing for myself, For I am dead, for I am dead. All that I ask is that for peace You fight today, you fight today. So that the children of this world May live and grow and laugh and play! Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs weekdays on 1,200+ TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
