Bad Seed

** This poem is dedicated**
     To the families and kin
   Who struggle to stay afloat
******In this world of sin******


Nobody cares about him
He's a troubled teen
Just throw him in confinement
Throw away the key
Rehab not necessary
He's just a troubled teen

It does not matter 
That he comes from a broken home
That he has no food to eat
Just a bad seed
Growing old in the cold city streets

I can feel the emotion here. I can see the teen suffering. I can see the need to help. Exception work. Keep writing. Sara
