Social Ills

Past behavior predicts future insanity 
Child lost in ills of society
Driven past attention disorders
Family lacks law & order
Her right arm, left to the dark
Deep down, heart torn apart
Longing for parental love
Daddy gotta make da money baby
Stand steady 
Attention in the form of money
Mommy ain’t ready 
To sacrifise time for young Katy 
“Kids cannot teach kids how to live” 
So dear parent
Before your child takes preference
To nude dances, alcohol ,
Drug abuse, cause u left her unattended,
Give thought to what is important,
“kids cannot teach kids how to live” 
So please don’t let your child 
Get lost in social ills.
