Helpless Children
Every time a child decides to cry
There's a story behind their broken eyes
And when people are cruel to them, I'll never know why
Theri mommies and daddies raised them up
Spoon-fed by sugar coated lies,
Like the fake love is what a child wants
Or something, a prey that a lion hunts
Or something quote on quote "just blunt"
When they're on the battlefield, they put on a front
It's like it's a stage of life
There's a main character full of strife
He's been stabbed by this utter metaphorcial knife
And no one in the world knows how to define
Why in the world children scream and whine
Naughty parents just want to put the blame
On the silhouette toy soilders blocking their way
Not a single one will ever have the balls to say
It was their fault, 'cause, boy, that'd be the day
Everyone would stop being a mouse, be a girl
I don't know why people won't just give it a whirl
Instead, they say it would make their brain swirl
What the heck, saying it's an ice cream cone
And look at them in that way, in that tone?
How many of you are bad to the bone?
"None!, " I scream in the megaphone
Don't even get me started on porn!
Them little naked babies hearts are all bruised, torn,
Like an old pair of socks, not their first day born
No, I think the worst things
Is when a family put down their rings
Arguing, drinking, drugs, cutting, no singing
Whenever parents leave, the children's voices ringing
Like a wind chime in the breezes,
But now the wind will just do as it pleases
Not grabbing a tissue for those sniffles and sneezes,
Cough medicing for those, "Help me" wheezes
Children run away from their problems, be like them,
So it's too bad moms and dads are like phlegm,
An infection ruining thier gems
"This isn't a perfect life of the Sims,
Where they walk peacefully around
This is Grand Theft Auto, so just
Raise your hands up and go to the ground"
They say to them bound,
Tied in a ribbon, in a knot,
Wishing they would've early on fought
The way these scholars taught
Which, if they want to survive, they ought
Unless they want to sing the forever blues,
Taken away, flushed down the loo
No one would cry, or even say "Boo",
Even though they were once children, too
I wish that one of the parents would stub their toe
So that regret can take over them and he
Ors she will see they are a foe
To a child or children full of woe
Maybe they'd even tell the other one, "No! No!
I won't let them go!"
Another awful thing that's very cruel
Is that mothers drown their own kids in pools
Then chop them up like they're made of wool
And, to be honest, it's very cruel
I wish that people would decide to change
Why no one's stepped up is very strange
It's like they need to stay in their own lane
People really need to be potty-trained
To be honest, there's so much more
Waiting for these children, innocent, that's in store
As I look around me, I could've swore
They walk around, head hung low, in old clothes
Mom and Dad forced them to wore
No, not anymore, please, not anymore!
Every time a child decides to cry
There's a story behind their broken eyes
And when people are cruel to them, I'll never know why
They leave them and ignore their cries of,
"Why, oh why, did you want me to die?"
