Kids these days
see things so wrong
They're at places
they don't belong

Hearing guns fire
Hearing people scream
Their souls are taken
Can't we redeem?

Life has no childhood
Children are no more
Your son's an addict
Your daughter a whore

Maybe it sounds cruel
Yet we know it is true
Our children have no life
Because of all the things
We do...

I never will know, which way I should go... But I won't stop to get directions

it may sound cliched but it is  true that there is a air of disenchantment in these times we live it. I think part of it may have to do with the fact that we have not had a movement, every era since the 50's has had a movement young people united through some common bound like music (punk) not saying that this would change the world but there seems to be a general build up of furstration without any outlet anyway I am ranting.

enjoyed the poem

  

"you are what you own in this land, you can be king and it all depends on the view and what you can see"  Whipping boy

Heck, I am a kid myself, and even I know that what you wrote is totally true.  So many kids just throw there lives away to the filth of this world.  Wonderfully written poem!  Good job.
