Common Sense Needed

You can't control your children, When they become adults You should not interfere As discord can result They do not need your opinion As they have views of their own When they venture into the world They want to make it alone Let them know you'll be there If they ever have the need, For a shoulder to cry on They know that is guaranteed. Times have changed From when we stepped out into life The disorder in the world today It causes heartache and strife. Nothing comes easy, When skullduggery runs rife. Honesty and trust Seem to be becoming a thing of the past But we all must Realise this state of affairs can't last How can we have the audacity To try to control our kids When past generations Lack of control has put us on the skids, Will future generations take note of this Or will they carry on as before If we don't come to our senses soon The world will be no more!
