Is there a correlation in the change of season?
And darkness and sad feelings
Holidays approaching
And families encroaching
Not all homes are filled with cheer and roses
Grandma and in-laws and who’s opposing
People moving faster than light speed
Always wanting more then what you need
So much time spent working
Not enough time smirking
Not teaching your children morality
Children dressing themselves with sexuality
Life goes by before you know it
Your children grow up and are filled with wit
And those of you in a selfish indulging mode
Not able to share of yourself and what was bestowed
Madness hiding behind sick eyes
Starving ones self for thinner thighs
War of nations hurt and despair
Doesn’t anyone remember prayer?
Progress in pharmaceuticals
Biochemical’s fundamentals all of them legal criminals
Human sexuality freely advertised on the TV screen
Are you running on empty drink some caffeine
Not enough rest, so you can’t sleep?
Being human is a hard existence to keep
