A Child With No Soul

Have you ever seen a Child
with No soul
How they seem alienated,
having in life, No purpose
or role
How they seem "out of sorts"
and, about to lose control
How they, thru Life, walk on
egg shells, like it's a bed of
hot coal
How they have No sense of
direction, in terms, of an 
ambition or a goal
How they seem to have, in
place of a heart, an ice pump
with a hole

very nice and realistic. Tends to make you wonder what is going on with kids these days? I can relate regarding my son's behavior these days. Good going
