Tears For the Youth

BY EZAR

I am seeing the lives of others faceing a path with out covers 
Trying to survive without fathers
No love for one another cold is world with out guidance for boys and girls 
Not knowing that they are jewels like diamonds and pearls
Dark or light course hair or curlers
They all need to see what life could be from the height of the heavens to depths of the seas
Years full term 360 degrees
Money well earned to supply their  needs
Instead of guns to squeeze addicted to drugs like rats to cheese
Being taught false facts to please the masses blurred sight even with glasses 
Believing their less than average
No positivity so they become stagnant
My heart cries for its more than tragic
Mind control music labeled as classic 
Consumed by the youth seen though the action
A generation lost is the price of the cost
Saleing their souls only concerned about what to floss
Thinking that riches and wealth is the true boss
Don't they realize that Jesus died and shed blood for their lives on the cross
Different languages but the same perspective 
On how the world is doing anything for the lights of show bizz 
Even though they are blessed with seeds of greatness PEACE

Most fall for the cons, taking the riches of this world over the ones of the next. Liked your lines here.
