[hometext] => We are quick to blame the young today, for being thoughtless, uncaring wild disrespectful. Maybe some should realise that WE society have allowed them to act in such ways. Some by example, forget material things in life. Be there for the young
[bodytext] => I sat in my green garden, coloured flowers everywhere Drink in hand ,chilled laid back, without a single care. Soaking up the sunshine, from the blue, blue, sky above. Feeling warm contented, in my world.... surrounded by much love As I sat and sipped my ice cold drink,, I suddenly overheard Not the sweet song from the songthrush, but something more absurd I heard the voice of a young man, walking past behind the fence I heard a voice filled with anger, full of pain, making little sense. He spoke of being lonely, nothing there for him atall. I stood to see if I could see him, if I peeked above the wall. He said he hated working, what had life instore for him? He asked where was the end of the tunnel? for all he could see was grim I went from feeling happy, to also feeling... pain inside I felt in my heart of hearts so sad, for this lad who tried I wondered why a soul so young, should feel so low and scared? I wondered was there anyone? anyone for him that cared? It seems so common these days, for our young to feel so bad What happened to young lives of laughter and happiness?... like we had? Is it that they grow so early now? from baby to a man? Is it because society MAKES them ? not just because they can? What can we do for our young out there? to bring the innocence back? To take away responsibility, put lives back on track? We are responsible for their futures, it's us... that them, should guide Protecting them from Real life pain, at least showing we have tried Lets give our young back their childhood, so like us they can enjoy Sitting safe and sound within family home, playing with their toys Stop making them grow up so young, least give them half a chance Then maybe we will see them grow... be happy? sing and dance? Think twice before you blame them, how wild todays youth are It's our fault they are commiting suicides self harming deep cut scars Lets give them back that comfort zone, the one we all once had Then maybe some can smile again in this world so filled with BAD [comments] => 2 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Malcolmsdreamgirl [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
