All kids of today seem to say
"I already know, I'm grown."

So let them see the world
Not what they watch on tv.
Show them the struggles of life
So they know that its not easy.
Tell them that I'm hungry
Yet,my refrigerator is empty.

Life's not what they believe
So let them strive with problems
Then hope they see.
Turn them down profusely
When they ask for wants not needs.

Poverty equals suffering
There's a long road for change
But this kids must know
Life's not all fun and games.
Observe their wrong doing
Then proceed to say

"I only hold my tongue to let you learn. Your mistakes and pain will be your teacher. "
