Barracks Scene

Barracks Scene from "Life is Beautiful

The words were foreign
The meanings made clear
Frightening, yet smiling
The Fathers idea

A Game, Yes, a game
But to lie
What a shame
No choice for the Dad
His heart was in pain

A tank, Think of that!
What fun it will be!
This lesson in life
So hard, you can see

For a Boy to survive
With minimum sorrow
Giving him something
To dream for tomorrow
