I mourn the death of the child in you
The child that played alone or with dirty kids
Amongst jealous trees and stickball lots
Plagued with dried foxtails invading your socks
You use to be happy, just hanging out
Today you’re addicted to so much crap
iPhone, iPad and other suspicious circuit dogma
Designer drinks here, Whole Foods there
Imported Mini boxes on tires with all the extras
Kardashian butt, see a stranger’s mirror
Think you need a new race? Or botched!
Better be wearing Prada, DKNY or Kors
Coach or D&G on your shoulder, of course
Stocks go up because they closed some more plants
Chinese slavery – that’s were the money’s at
American workers? I’m sure they’ll bounce back
You know that the kid version of you
Would kick your ass, slash your tires
Slash your clothes, rat you out on YouTube
To Mom and Dad, cousins, aunts and uncles
They would fervently tell you
You weren’t raised that way!
Church taught you better
Play by His rules idolatrous one!
Don’t hurt anybody with the choices you make
Is that kid alive? Is hope coming out?
Do CPR or start praying to God …. move forward
Promise to be better and trash all soulless junk!
