Juvenile delinquency has exposed growth to the fiddle
time fastens for maturity to face this compulsory wheedle.
How long and straight forward is this short cut to the moon?
Consequence has made later more favourable than soon.
Just when a young mind gradually focuses on the right direction
an extra eye becomes an umbrella and a new caption.
A teenager, naïve enough to pull the plug
now must be strong enough to take the drug.
Responsibility has grown loud, increasing its tempo
and taking the next step, there’s yet to be an info.
Caring from the cared isn’t a banality,
either is weight carried by soft hands a carnality.
Dad and child in same stage of taking mama’s snuff
if there’s something to offer, for now it isn’t much stuff.
Whatever is the story, a baby still causes the blush
subsequent issues will matter not and be flushed.
On the very important task ahead, only cowards vilipend
it is more than a consolation that a good dad is a legend.
Even some of those older still hold strengths so penetrable
thus, age shouldn’t stop the creation of a mark so traceable.
