"The fields are ripe unto harvest, but the laborers are few." John 4: 35-36
The inner cities are crumbling, crime, and murder, too Youth are bored out of their minds with nothing to do Where are the resources to help end the pain Of the abundance of murders, happening over and over again Gangs are their families and their support each day Where are the moms ~working? or day and night play Dads have disappeared, grandma has to fill the gap Sometimes there is a grandpa and sometimes zap Out on the fringes of the cities, rural life seems some better Crime is still happening, where the law is not followed to the letter The young mature men of today, step up and be a mentor Give hope and encouragement that you have in store Young women who have jobs and some time How can you help a person to keep down crime There has to be some kind of lessons you can teach Maybe how to cook, garden, or sew where the lessons don't preach

Its sadly the reality that you’ve written about here in such eloquence. I wish the world will be a better place and politicians will find solutions for younger generation to be engaged in healthy situations. There has to be some kind of lessons, i agree. Such a profound write this is. Real talk. Pleasure reading this

IE, I live rural, so we don't hear about it here (I know some is going on though) as much but on TV in the large cities it is at least one death, robbery, or other crime every night and more on the weekends. Thanks for the visit and the insightful review. Sara K
