Pandemonium

Please, teenagers, put down your devastating killing weapons
And know you are too young to grasp all you would deaden.
No baby born should lack unconditional, parental love and support.
Damaged youth are doomed to destroy the world as they court
Emotions seeking 'happy' from stinking thinking, greed, power or
Meandoring towards ways and groups whose days turn lives sour.
Obey God as He resonates with you, not any fanatical interpretation
Nudging violent instructions for mankind’s senseless destruction.
Ignorance feeds on generations of dramatic, fruitless behavior,
Unable to ever satisfy a foolish, vengeful, confused or lost nature.
Mending us requires devoted, spiritual parents whose love is mature.

Your poem is fraught with great wisdom as you not only describe the biggest reason for the pandemonium among today's youth, but you give the message of how to conquer it. GREAT job, my friend.
