Build Jobs For All Our People

Your children can't find work they wander the streets form up as groups those groups become gangs people introduce drugs if you get a child hooked on drugs you have a customer for the rest of their live's teenagers the years where we make mistakes the years where we get addicted smoking drinking drugs teenagers make the decisions that we as adults live with for the rest of our lives yet give a child a job and the road is vastly different give a child a job they get married start a family save for their home Children fight, to prove themselves a child lost, in a fountain, of confusion ready to prove themselves a man yet we ignore their needs to many lives are lost trying to find the inner man trying to cope with the broken hearts of love in the wild the male stag fights to prove he's come of age fights to prove his right to mate we think ourselves above yet nature still holds sway the birth of life the summer stage we but actors in life plays the male stag has come of age I remember my youth when we as a group of four planed to defend ourselves at a dance parking the car blocks away who would stand and who would leave each to head in different directions only to find the dance had been shut down to much violence in the town In my teenage years I started smoking enjoyed a drink suffered pain lost love complete Teenagers the time where mum and dad are no longer the gods of advice as we develop the adult mind start to believe that we know better remember the arguments all my friends will be there yet how much more we have learned How do we protect our youth if we leave them roaming the streets we talk about abuse yet not having work not having a career is the greatest mistake help get the youth off our streets build jobs for all our people

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
