Poem
Friends came around upset and angry with their children a child's fist flew through the wall It's your fault the child said It's your fault my life is like this several arguments go into make one a child's anger because of the state Government rules stupidity of men the child was told you have a right to the youth allowance you have a right to money for him to get the benefit required his mother to reduce her share money used to pay rent now he wanted to waste on lollies rules of stupidity create by men it's your fault we're like this the words fall from the child's mouth cutting the mother's heart in two words twisted by the drunken heart word corrupted by the use of drugs a mothers heart broken exposed to the pain Did she have faults yes we all have faults in the past she had a drinking problem did she create all the problems No, children also have brains they decide if they take drugs they decide if they become violent they decide if they're going to break the law They decide to avoid school talk through lessons decide to cheat or act the fool yet sometimes there's a problem sometimes the eye's can't see the board sometime the teacher works to fast and the child can't keep up sometimes the teacher also shares the blame lifes complexity the challenge is to unravel the truth don't look to criticize or punish look to build systems that improve life people that struggle don't need pain
