For Our Youth 3-6-16

Death's grip holds a lost generation here.

They harbor no love or respect.

We've failed to teach them what Jesus did -

so really, what did we expect?

We see them behave in an immature way.

We hear all the four-letter slang.

We all get a taste of their pure, evil deeds

and wonder why they're in a gang.

America's lost to a new way of life.

Sins pull on our youth is so strong.

We go to a fun'ral of good child shot -

then wonder still, "What has gone wrong?"

You think that this poem's too negative.

You think that there's more to the truth -

but just take a look at the news of the day.

Why do we not care for our youth?
