God Doesnt Make Them Like Our Mothers Anymore

God doesnt make them like our mothers anymore There is no love in them Their eyes move in every directions like a chameleon They value money more than their bodies Every man can touch as long as he is rich enough They walk around with their bellies open  With artificial faces which defy nature All they know is the bottle and less books They reduce themselves to attention seekers and calling themselves names like "bad bitches" I am pretty sure God doesn't make them like our mothers anymore They boast about not being able to cook All they know is our beds and not our kitchen They exchange lovers like shoes  They ignore the words of wisdom from their elders Unending relationship struggles,broken marriages and kids with no fathers. You find them in bars and not churches What is happening to our generation? God doesn't make them like our mothers anymore They no longer carry seeds of patience in their bossom Pretty smiles, beautiful skin but corrupt hearts This is what has become of our sisters, our girlfriends,our women They are lost in their world which they think they know everything until Aids comes along.

I think it's really good, but just keep in mind it's not God doing it. The actions they make are based off of their own will. So keep writing, it inspires me.....

What I wanted is for people to think who is making the world have such loose morals is it the creator who is creating pple like this or its the pple themselves. Or is it the world that we are living that is changing and what is wrong now seems to be right......these are some of the thoughts that went through my mind when I was writing this. Although in this poem I was merely directing my views towards our female counterparts.
