Whats Wrong With the Youth How Have You Helped

Inspired by a conversation I recently had with a friend A friend said to me whats wrong with these kids today to which I replied probably some of the mistakes we made yesterday A lot of problems they have were inherited from us I should have known that would start a fuss He went on to say I worked all my life before that I over achieved in school I was too busy studying to think about acting the fool I would never sale drugs even if times were hard and if money got low I'd just get another job I respected my elders especially mom and dad I dreaded disappointing them that would make me so sad So are you trying to compare them to me. Is that what your telling me I replied hold up the Lord does not have misdemeanors or felonies True you were good in school and worked hard through the week but on the week end some of your check went to thunder bird and weed see todays drugs dealer came from yesterdays weed man so indirectly you helped their business expand And in high school you had your way with the girls like they were all whores maybe just maybe some of these bad azz kids are yours And if so that respect for your elders you spoke on may have left when they realized daddy was gone This by no means justify these times not at all I just wish more of us would ask our selves where did we drop the ball See all the finger pointing we do don't help worth a dam unless it's join by the other fingers as an extended hand
