Best Childhoodparents Poems


Orphan

A pampered child as I was
Always loved,cuddled and respected
Due to the radiance and brilliance
Behoving my tender and soft face
Coming out of my parents' ego
Or may be of their baseless boasting.

A calm but isolated in the group 
Ever lost in my own thoughts 
Chalking out plans for sustaining 
My ownself and my family.
Once out of college I took to teaching
The small kids blind to the fire
Of hunger and starvation devouring 
The poor families of the inactive.

The wedding garland round my neck 
Lowered my head and self esteem 
Only to see the affairs of my own
Neglecting the plight of my parents .
I am now orphaned by none other 
Than my parents for reasons still unknown.

Gangs

GANGS ARE RUNNING OUR STREETS,PUMPED UP WITH DRINK AND DRUGS.
WHAT CAN WE DO NOW, TO STOP THESE THUGS.
THE GOVERMENT TOOK AWAY THE PARKS AND ALL THE FUN.
NOW THE KIDS ARE RESORTING TO KNIVES AND GUNS.
WHAT NOW IS THERE FOR OUR KIDS TO DO.
AS THEIR NOT ME AND THEIR NOT YOU.
TV AND COMPUTERS ALL DAY LONG.
NO WONDER WHY THINGS HAVE GONE SO WRONG.
EVERYTHING IS MONEY,NOTHING IS FOR FREE.
THE PARENTS WORK ALL DAY TO EARN THEIR FEE.
WE HAVE GOT TO STOP THE ROT BEFORE IT GETS TO BAD.
OUR KIDS ARE LOSING THEIR LIVES,ITS JUST SO SAD.
KIDS NEED LOVE AND KIDS NEED CARE.
BUT HOW CAN THEY GET THAT WHEN THEIR PARENTS ARE NOT THERE.
