What do you see??

It doesn't make me happy

You know
It hurts me
To see people dealing with life so playfully
When.there are so many people on the news today DYING
Thousands of gods babies now are just pushin up daisies
And here we are Living our lives so ungratefully
Without stopping to smell a single rose, blade of grass or a daisy
Treating each other like we would never want to be treated
think of all the dreams that.are dreamt NEVER TO BE completed

I’m watching you take every day for granted
Cause your eyes covered with a blanket
Life is precise
And to need to act like

You know it upsets me
When I see so many accidental babies
Who grow up without a daddy
Who live life with forgetful mommies
Who forget that the money can't replace love
addicted to material accumulation like its drug
never have the satisfaction having both parents in one household
Never knowing how a childhood should go
Being raised by a one parent is like going outside with holes in your umbrella
Like flying a plane with a broken propeller
Like livin life with one lung
Like doing a puzzle with half the pieces it's no fun
How do you explain to your little ladybug
That no matter how hard she cries daddy isn't gonna come
Your son’s heart is filled with mixed feelings and anger
When he is looks at his dad and.sees and stranger
And asks if all this is normal how do you answer
In this country.kids before marriage seems normal
And the line of kids being born.into broken families seems.eternal
Why create a human being with whom you are in constant quarrel
Leaving children to pay
For the mistakes that were made
that they weren't even around
To purchase
Take parenthood more seriously
Cause he's not just some.boy calling.you.mommy
he'ss a human being THAT YOU'RE RAISIN
a member of society in with your hands you're creating
So be more careful
So be more aware

You know what angers me
To
see so many teens throwing away their education
For cheap fun and immature inspirations
Always living for the now, never having patience
Always finding a replacement
for that 99 percent of perspiration
If character were the only clothes so many would be naked
teens who think that what quick and easy
overrules any other possibilities
will learn fairly quickly that life will not always be breezy
and unfortunately these minds is where deffered dreams grow like weeds

In life their are millions of things to experience and see
and perhaps it's a personal thing
but for me their are one too many
unnoticed things that bother me
