Crime Is Causing Chaos and Fear
Helping, please and thank you's are
Getting less and very far
From manners and society
It's getting harder to see
Old fashioned ways we're used to
These days we don't have a clue
How to behave or act civil
We are turning on a swivel
Of rudeness and lack of ethics
So who do we blame for this mess
Parents who don't even try
To punish children who just lie
And misbehave, they don't care why
No discipline for any actions
Putting this world in bad traction
'Hurt from all the hateful things
Not correcting children brings
Is it drugs and alcohol
Making this world start to fall
Into darkness and despair
Because it is every where
Maybe it is all the crime
Happening most all the time
Robbers, rapists and kidnappings
Murders, fear-- this world is lacking
In humanity, we need
To reverse this evil seed
Being planted in us all
Making this world and earth fall
To violent negativity
Hurting children, you and me
