Look at the little boy
sitting across your table.
The one whose about to use your
serving ladle.You birthed him
in this world; you love him with all
your heart.

He and his two friends
stayed out longer than usual
last night.  Did you know
they where building a bomb, just
because. 

You allow them to leave
home everynight.  Don't you care if
homework is done.  Did you review.
Be a real mentor and parent.
You know he's surfing the internet. 
Be a Mama and Daddy, check them out.

Guy lost his arm picking a bottle
from the street.  He was a driver walking
to get help for his broken down jeep.

No!!!

It wasn't a bottle....It was a test bomb
You want to keep your neighborhoods
beautiful, but be careful and look before
you pick up the bottle.
