Where are the role models?
Who do I admire?
The *** and drug obsessed rapper?
The naked model in the magazine?
Who?

Where is the father figure in that single mother home?
Or the concerned and responsible mother of two?

Where is the morals in society?
Tell me
Where can I find them?

Everyone seems absorbed by popularity
Acceptance
Is this the reason we expose our bodies?
Disregard our morals?
Sully our name?

Where are the role models?
The positive influence?
The man holding the door for the young lady?
The mother struggling to put her children through college?

I'm in despair
Will I succumb to the warped society?
Will I trade my personal respect,
for a robe knitted of shameful glory?

I'm afraid
*Where did all the good people go?
