An intoxicated kid took his uncles car, he was traveling so fast the engine seperated from the car. He killed everyone in the other vehicle.
Some of these same people who don't have control of their kids are out protesting the state of the economy. So the economy gets better and we all prosper only to be killed by a drunk or drug intoxicated person. Or maybe a kid who doesn't want to work a job, so he goes out to rob.


Poem Artwork

Some worry about the
state of the economy
when their home is
all out of order
They are abusing their
family members
twelve months through
many Decembers

Their children are on drugs
maybe selling
or turning up the alcohol jugs
Not only the children get high
the adults also take off
and fly
Before the economy got bad
spoiled kids wouldn't work a job
They'd rather go out and rob
Got some right in my own family

Some criticize the president
but aren't doing much better
in their resident
If the politicians ran the country
and they almost do
like some run their home
This country wouldn't be much
better than the empire of Rome

We don't have far to go
I guess you know

*shaking head* My feeling is this: when "they" took discipline out of the home, and prayer out of schools, that's when our kids went south. Parents: do you know where your children are, and what they are doing?!? I fear we are in a major depression, as far as raising kids now ... with no end in sight. Sad. Astute observations, very well penned. Scary times we live in ...

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
