Its Not To Late For Change Contest

If it was 1942 Relationships would carry substantial views Since about 1983 Things have changed drastically Backwards, zig- zaged, upside-down Destroyed traditions have become muted sound Men are getting milk for free While feasting on all the meat they can eat They have no reason to buy the cow or compliment it with a vow Trying out the goods before paying full price A generation who hears the word marriage and thinks twice I’d have to blame it on the 60's babies They started getting divorced and made everything crazy Now what sense is it to have a child and than move in? Not to mention it’s a biblical sin God’s word never changed His people suddenly did He wanted parents to be married when they had a kid They use to ship a girl away that got pregnant before she began to show Now there are many men that pick up and just go We are in an age that is afraid to fully commit Yet we have no problem doing everything else with charm and wit The results of this lifestyle has caused nothing but chaos and pain How many people go to court for child support every day and are in need of financial gain Let’s not forget the teens that have followed in this lead They meet some teenage boy and think that love means having his seed Children are raising children while young adults are living together before its time What’s the point of marriage if you have already drank the whole bottle of wine If you think this is normal or that marriage is for the lame Wait another 20 years and watch how damaged and filled with shame Our future children will wonder why no one stays together for long They will write it in poems and sing it in their songs It was not just a religious belief it was the right thing to do Fall in love get married then have a baby or two Women are wasting their lives with a man for years If you live together and aren’t married he will end up bringing you to tears And if you do get married what is there to look forward to, tax right offs I suppose Because by the time you have married you have formed thorns around your precious rose There were no talk shows featuring “you are not the father” back then People had one partner until the very end Let’s not forget about the problem with STD's They run ramped like birds in vibrant trees Before long people will have to carry a safety card To prove their privates aren’t strangely scarred All avoidable, yet it keeps getting worse When will we wake up and finally hit reverse?
