But Not My Children

I’m not sure where it is all going but only last year President Of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was invited to speak at a College in Columbia, USA. I certainly didn’t see the kind of unrest in America as I do now. I think that students who are deprived either by their parents or their schools, are being exposed not only racism but to unpatriotic messages that will say to these young kids that not even the President is worth of a voice. And if this is so, what expectations should they have of themselves

 

But Not My Children

 

Burnt from drugs, thousands kill their souls

Unveiled commando shots of idols and idols dancing on poles

Too many shoot outs in the schools

No restrictions on skimpy and ragged clothes, no rules

Oodles of piercings and many in some unimaginable place

Tattoos, videos, and pics posted to bring public disgrace

Music tooting vulgarity, violence and rage

Youngsters have no religious values at their vulnerable age

Cellular phones to text disgusting phrases

Homework undone and when done not worthy of praises

It’s hard not to see the generation lost

Looking for happiness and paying an invaluable cost

Doing so much wrong and needing a strong arm

Reaching out for help to those who’ll do them harm

Especially with all that these kids are faced with today

No child should be denied listening to the President of the USA
