Think...those young and tough...a lesson to be learned...




You fly high

You laugh at authority

Thinking

You're the wise guy

Yet

Being obedient becomes you

Rules never seem to stick

For you have become a Buzzard

Sneaking with a flock

Being unruly

Stop

Think before you leap

Praise the family

Who has given to you the world

Kiss their feet

Be blessed

Someone loves you enough

To care

For those you run with

Are only Buzzards

When the frenzy is over

They disperse

Very well said. How can we show them how truthful this is.?
How can we invite them into grops that are not gangs?
Like each of us, they need to be involved and feel important.

Definately made some good points and a statement that our younger crowd would be wise to listen to.
