How Has Violence Affected My Life?
How has violence affected my life?
It has cused me a lot of strife
From TV, to news, or any other media
Or just on the street, in a dark alley
If you don't see it you think it's not there
And though I've not seen it, i know, and I care
'Cause I fear for the future, my future, and how it will be
If violence spreads, with the fist, and the knife
What are the causes of youth violence?
It can not be said in just one sentence
It can be caused by prompting or chanting
Or maybe they just had a bad day
But it doesn't matter 'cause either way it's bad
And the victim, the loser, the one who is sad
He may be hurt in much more than one way
And he may never get his recompense
What can I do about youth violence?
I may have an idea or two
We could tell the kids to not cheer, but boo
We could make sure the one who was bad
Does not win but loses because he is punished
Not by more violence, no, not like that
But by asking them why they'd do something like that
And making sure they don't go away mad
