It's Sad

It's sad 
When police sirens blaring through the night
Is just annoying,
It's sad 
When a store goes out of business because of theft, 
And it's just an incovenience.
It's sad 
When violence on the screen 
No longer draws a reaction.
When cursing on TV is just plain funny.
It's sad 
When nine year old's can give you the 101 on sex.
It's sad
When little kids can curse out a sailor
And not even blink.
"Man that's sad," my brother says.
He doesn't even know the half of it.
When children give their parents lip
and the parent feel ashamed.
That's sad.
When people even dare to THINK 
About robbing an old woman on the street.
That's sad.
When you get laughed at 
For listening to your parents.
That's sad.
When you get laughed at for being a virgin...
In the sixth grade!!
That's sad.
That is very very sad,
I feel like the last gentleman in the world.
