They'Ll Never Understand

They'll never understand
Even though they think they might
They can't understand that when I talk of suicide
It's not my death I want to see
But the death of society
I wish to watch it hang like the criminal we've made it
But if we created it, are we not the guilty?
Not rhetorical so someone please answer
Why have we given golden eggs to giants
Only for it to be gold plated instead
Cheap and dishonest are the tongues 
Spew hot lava, but don't spit on me, its bad manners
They'll never understand, our children will not only abandon like we taught
But find their meaning of life when it's over
Parents will grieve, but why?
You killed them cause you couldn't pull the trigger on society
However the quicker we point the gun..."RICOCHET!" 
Back into the dense skulls of those who will never comprehend
Capiche?
This world is sick be yet their antidote
Find our cure
Caprende?
