Raising Our Children With Our Eyes Closed

by Dmac (Any response is appreciated) - Taurus

We under estimate, we don't understand, that's not of God's plan.
We take them for granted,that they'll learn on there own, why shouldn't they
if nothing is right at home.
We don't have time, we think everything is alright, they don't ask about
life, why would they if we are not willing to take sight.
We go about our business, day to day, know wonder our children turn out this
way.

They are disrespectful to other adult beings and they don't care about there
demise,this shouldn't be a surprise because of there up bringing.

They are killers also, killing there peers, why make a fuss now, this has
been going on for years.
Why make a fuss now, it is very clear to me it's not about the black kid
who will kill one, two maybe, and at the most three.
Why make a fuss, it's so obvious to see, it is the white man's son who is on
the killing spree.

It should not matter if the killing is one, two, three or a spree,
let this be a lesson to every parent out there, the children are starving
for love, attention,and wisdom which can not be learned on the streets.

Next time it could be your son, her daughter, my child, who is involved or a
part of the next shooting spree, we can stop this nonsense if we just open
our hearts and our eyes to see.

Reason for writing:

    To many children and young adults are killing each other, parents need to open their eyes and pay attention to what the children are doing right in front of them.
