Guest Blog by my daughter

  I talk about my Children a lot mostly my sons I do have a daughter she is 25 and I have to say she is beautiful, she is currently studying to be a Radiologist technologist. A mother wants for her children to do better then she did that is how we measure success. I am and will never be a great writer, but still I write I believe I have grown with my writing however I will never be able to do what my daughter does with ease, so for your reading pleasure a poem from who and what I am proud of….

What is wrong with society?

Why is “The Streets” replacing mothers & fathers
Giving children guns instead of toys.
Raising them to be soldiers,
To fight a war that will never be won with violence.
Corrupting their minds, allowing them to believe “Kill or Be Killed”
Gang Bangers replacing teachers
Sending kids to school with backpacks full of drugs instead of books.
Not worrying about that child’s future, more concerned about their own selfish needs.
Teaching our young men that
You kill for respect.
You kill for power.
You kill for acceptance.
That it’s okay to kill for greed, out of envy, or for money.
Allowing them to hate others simply because “That’s how it’s always been”
The streets slowly stealing away the innocence of childhood.
What becomes of the word childhood without the word child?
HOOD.
That mentality that teaches OUR children to rep “it”
That there’s nothing more to life than what the “block” has to offer.
What is wrong with society?
When did MONEY become more valuable than someone’s LIFE?
Man created it, now we’ve become slaves to it.
Imprisoned by our own creation.
Money.
The root of all evil.
The cause for numerous amounts of deaths.
The reason why people never really LIVE.
CHANGE IS BEYOND OVERDUE.
Society needs a rude awakening.
When will it become to late?
When will these “Thugs” open their eyes & realize that
One day they will be forced to watch the lives they choose to live
Forced to deal with the effects of their actions.
One day they will take their last breath
One day their lives will flash before their eyes
One day they will have to kneel before God.
When will it become to late?
The time for change was YESTERDAY.
