Change the Cycle

Could I please have your attention for I have some things to say?
Let's start a revolution, and change the world today!

Ladies! Let's stick together and put our jealousy aside!
Enough of all this gossip for it hurts too much inside.

Men! Forget that macho crap, it's okay to show your fright!
A man is more attractive when he stands up for what is right.

Parents! This is up to us and it is our duty to prevail!
To change this vicious cycle that society made real.

If the models on the catwalk weighed two-hundred pounds.
We would all be in the bakery buying donuts by the mounds.

Instead, we find our daughter with her head in the commode,
and our son is doing who knows what, for his door is always closed.

Children! It is very cool to kiss your mom goodbye.
When you truly need a friend, she'll be there by and by.

Please believe me when I say this is attainable.
Let's bring the love back in the world; Be kind and keep it real!
