The Vent Part Ten

Having control of your life is 
rare.
Living is hard and dying is bare.
You can be happy or scared.
Me, I don't care.
Life has nothing to spare,
But people fighting, drinking, 
doing drugs , and  people 
wanting to have sex with a 
pair.
I'm wondering if there is 
something in the air?
Babies die before seeing their 
father, life ain't fair.
Their father probably don't 
care.
Because he has more money to 
spare,
More condoms to wear,
And more naked girls to stare.
Some bottles and pills to share,
With that girl he met at the 
state-fair.
Seeing real fathers these days 
are really rare.
The world is broke and the 
world doesn't want a repair-
