Cry Out

Children
Pushing away their problems
Not caring
About those they hurt

Running the streets
Day after day
After Night
Living in fear

Hanging with people
Having no clue
Who they are
Just wanting somone
To cling to

Parents
It is up to us
To save our children...

What has happened
To communication?

Open your eyes
And see
What is real

Our children watch
What we do
Taking our personalities
With them
Hoping we see
Their distress

Wanting to be told...
Stop!
This is not right!
