Why do we hurt the little ones?
If we were not ready we should have had none
For often we become what we fear
Acting like our parents is near
Why can we just not love?
Promising them that we will rise above
For if we ourselves were abused
What is the reason we make our children feel used?
They should be cuddled and hugged
Not running second best to our latest drug
We allow our mates to ****
Don’t we realize it’s our blood we spill?
It’s very sad we cannot learn
For what a child does yearn
To be number one
Second to none
Mom and Dad not to be mean
To live a life happy and clean
We all have bad days
But we shouldn’t make them slaves
To what we have been through
We must soon realize it is true
Before all our children are lost
All these kids becoming our next boss
Take a look at our changing world
All the bombs being hurled
Maybe we should take a look inside
Realize where the blame lies
