Karina Content, your mouse house
feels like home
For children worldwide
But you lost everything
Just as I see it
As a safe place only your fantasy
You create a world as you could wish it
A world without bad people
The neighborhood you used to live in, cold and chilly
one ice ball broke your mother's will
The hostile outside world won
She gave up, but that's something you couldn't do
Motherly alone
mess around you
Your father a tyrant
a terrible man
You have an unsafe past yourself
Amazing how you fought for the school children
To escape the violence
you sold your body for money
Got the harriet freezerring prize
Trafficking in women has been covered up long enough
But you put it on the map
That's worth much more than 1 prize
Despite the now successful life
You have remained so sincere and honest
Period
1960
