CHILDREN ARE PAYING FOR ADULT’S MISTAKES

Does not take a genius to see how badly our children need us

All it really takes is for us to turn on the television or the radio

In our adult population too many of our children have lost all trust

Children want parents to step up and take charge, don’t we know

 

Children turn to wrong things in life because parents are not right

Real parents do not snatch and curse at their children in the streets

Parents do not curse or mistreat their children in view or out of sight

MEN take care of what they create with WOMEN under the sheets

 

Boys, calling themselves MEN fertilize eggs by night and run by day

Little girls, calling themselves WOMEN let boys treat them like meat

Adults pretending to be parents are the reason children are that way

It going to take REAL ADULTS to make children’s lives complete

 

America’s President will happily veto children’s health care insurance

So quickly, politicians will vote for funds to construct new prison systems

For children’s education and safety, we need to offer some reassurance

Slow we are to help young people but in a split second we can condemn

 

Look at the House Speaker Michael Bush of Maryland and his colleagues

Rejected a tax-free shopping day that helped children going back to school

Some politicians care less about poorer children and more about revenues

Like parents caring less about children and more about bars, keno and pool

 

It is disastrous when young people has to raise themselves and their sibling

Father goes in church in Louisiana, take out children and mother at gunpoint

When you cannot even Worship in God’s House in peace, it very frustrating

Parents, friends communities children want help, how long will we disappoint

 

You give your last dollars to slot machines, lottery machines and liquor stores

How can children show respect when they see we are little more than fakes?

Fathers will not even teach young men to hold doors or do after school chores

Adults dropped the ball and now, “Children Are Paying For Adult’s Mistakes”

 

Give Them Some Help…NOW!!!
