-Modesty

Modesty where has it gone
Does it no longer exist
Are there no boundaries now
Is morality on the blacklist?

Everything on display 
For all the world to see
Oh ,how times have changed
In the world of modesty

Young girls in early teens
Dressed so scantily 
Unaware of the effect
Of the message being perceived

Some parents just not parenting
No words of inappropriate dress
No advice or guidance given
On simply being modest

I know the world has changed
For the better in equality
I just wish we could encourage 
A little more modesty!
