Who's Minding the Children

Innocence lost and being ignored sin destroyed sickness and little hope confusion of mind How can fathers detach so easily? And who’s minding the children? Broken homes absentee fathers long gone mothers now abandoning them too or too busy to love and care child abuse and perversion What happened to the fathers who say they are men? And who’s minding the children? Taught to think of only self gangs and bloodshed on the rise early pregnancy and more unwanted babies disrespect of authority now rampant they don’t live long anymore Where are the fathers who plagiarize God’s name? And who’s minding the children? Abuse their elderly regularly violence in dating is now so common all manner of carnage and misuse homosexuality embellished and tolerated emotionally damaged while so very young Why is daddy nowhere to be found? And who’s minding the children? Physically impaired and unhealthy insolent conduct drugs annihilating hidden in prison houses sleeping in the streets Wasn’t daddy placed as head? And who’s minding the children? Raising themselves Uneducated Misdirected hungry and full of rage Where are these fathers who beat their chests? And who’s minding the children?
