Teach The Youth

Teach The Youth

 We must try to teach the youth and above all understand

That if hatred rules in the schools, it will ultimately rule man

Our children are caring guns and killing nuns for fun

Yes, mean at sixteen and sentenced to the maximum

Thrown in jail because we failed to teach them right from wrong

All day long singing a song, lifting weights to make their bodies strong

Their fantasizing, not realizing that it’s the mind that’s out of shape

Since learning leads to earning, pick up the books kids drop the weights

But children don’t understand, they’re just trying to be the man

But what they perceive to be a man is really much less than

It’s the epitome of stupidity, we need not be confused

When the trust put in us we simply choose to abuse

A sad sign of the times when we glorify crime

Cause unlike fine wine it gets worse with time

If children loved their reflection it might change their perception

It’s guaranteed to lead them in a positive direction

But sometimes we get fed up but we just can’t let up

Speak the truth to the youth say “keep your head up”

If we search in the church we’ll find the ultimate goal

To pray everyday will help cleanse our soul

If we believe we can achieve if we enhance the picture

With the word that is heard when one reads from the scripture.
