So Sad

Below is a copy of your poem: SO SAD! This is for us who are 25 and older.... There was a question raised by the late Marvin Gaye He asked ? What's Going On with the children of today?? Benzos and Bling Bling is what they glorify Living wild lifestyles, not afraid to die But I see the truth, in the tears that they cry If you look a little closer With a deaf ear you can hear it in their voice Too ashamed of breaking down So they use rebellion as their force Out the hurt that their really feeling deep inside With no where to run, or no where to hide So they turn to us?. And most of us get caught up in emotions So what do we do? We fight and fuss Instead of lending them our listing ear Or use some words of love and encouragement To drive away their fears Now if you think about it We were once in their shoes Knowing right from wrong But yet we did whatever we wanted too I remember that one funny phrase My mom use to say before beating me And I'm sure you've heard it too This is going to hurt me, more then it hurt you O' and the other one before she walked out of your door Shut up all of that noise before I give you something to cry for Yeah you might laugh now But we really need to break the curse By STOP using words that hurt And START using words that help So the next time your child do something Instead of getting mad Just remember as parents we are the only one that can Save Our Sons And Daughters And if you don't understand that's just So Sad!
