What has this world come to?

by Alexis - Cancer

There used to be a time
when you hear the word drugs
and you're like, what is that?
Now,there's not a day that
goes by you don't hear
Its brought this world
down to a horrible 
place to live
You hear of people killing
to get money for drugs or
killing to get them off a person
You hear of women while they're pregnant 
doing crack
and having babies that have to 
depend on crack
Alcohol has the same effect 
babies are born with abmormalities
due to this
People go into violent rages 
when they don't have it
You look on TV and see nothing but
violence and sex
On video games you see the violence
Some parents depend on the TV
to babysit their children
and the children do not recieve
the attention and love they need
The only thing the child sees 
is violence and sex
Why do we have so many
teenage mothers?
Why do we have so many 
school shootings?
There was a time when sex, violence, and drugs
weren't mentioned
Sex was to wait until you were married
Violence never happened as often
as it does now
and who developed drugs?
Whoever did, has ruined this world
After being in a time when none 
of this happened
and going into a time when that's all 
you see
All you can do is stop and think
What has this world come to?

Reason for writing:

    I'D LIKE TO THANK GOD FOR ME BEING ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES WHO DOESN'T DO DRUGS OR DRINK AND ALSO MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND BOYFRIEND!
