O Let Me Play

He said to me,"Ma'am I don't really run,
I have no friends under the sun!"
She said to me,"Ma'am I know not to skip,
My friends are sailing in another ship"
They said to me,"Ma'am we know not to hop,
As the aunties in our building  always yawp!"
Oh tell me now what shall I say
When I hear of kids that do not play,
Wassap,facebook have become their life
As society only causes them strife 
Can we not let them free for a while?
Is it that they are always on trial?
Let's take a step towards their needs
Even a farmer nurtures his seeds!
