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
