You Are

U are one of the reasons why some women are barren, with God looking at people like you that he gave children and u av failed miserably to guide and protect them. You are one of the reasons why we see the streets littered with runaway kids looking for a better life. To them anything is better than what you have shown them as life. You are one of the reasons why there are so many damage adults walking amongst us as our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, friends, bosses. You are one of the reason why our young ladies sleep with anybody and everybody just for a min or two of love and compassion. You are part of the rot that smells in our society today, that smell that just won't go away. You are part of that secret pain and shame we hold in our hearts that stings and draws tears to our eyes. You are part of the reasons why a little child's face is wrinkled with hopelessness. You were created to be the best gift any child should have but discover as just another poison ivy. You are the worse possible kind of traitor, for your type of betrayal is beyond low. You hurt for your pleasure and seek to destroy. You don't stop until the damage is irreversible. U seek to justify your doings, telling yourself that you know better for you have been here longer but what you don't know is that time changes yesterday. May you rest your heart at night knowing that the table may turn on you in the morning. May you taste that which you dish out so mercilessly. May you hold scars of wounds so deep you never forget that which you have done. You are the painful memories of our future.
