I step outside to listen to the sounds in the air
I hear a child’s mother yelling “I don’t care”
How could she be so mean to her child?
Is he something that walked in from the wild?
She may not have chosen to have the baby
But it happened and she can’t be lazy
What is wrong with the world today?
All the yelling and violence we see
It never used to be this much
There was more love and such
I don’t know why
But when I think about it, it makes me want to cry
I try to remember all the fun times
When I would stay up late and write good rhymes
I hope the respect improves
And we don’t lose sight of love
It seems people used to be more of a dream
Now more act bad and demean
With all the new technology today
We have more communication ways to say
How much we hate something about someone else
We tend to judge others before we even meet them ourselves
Maybe they could someday become your best friend
But now you’ll never know and the chance may never come around again
So take the time to meet new people
And go out of your way to help other ones
For you would like it too
If I came over to help you
