The Lonely Boy
The Lonely Boy
In the year of two-thousand and seven
There was a young boy who was eleven
He had a tall father, a businessman
The father never lent his son a hand
For money is what he cares for the most
In his home you will only hear him boast
The boy had trouble at school and at home
Often the boy felt utterly alone
On the playground he made a simple wish
That he could run away and not be missed
As the boy packed up his things
He thought of the songs he will sing
On his journey to a new life
His father was going through much strife
His business had just lost it all
He cried because he could no longer stall
The inevitable crash of his pyramid scheme
He could not think so he let out a scream
The boy rushed out the door
As his father's eyes began to pour
The boy set out without looking back
The cold lonely road was grey and black
The father had nothing left
Jail was his destination for his theft
The father had forgotten his son
He only ever cared for one
For he could not look past his pride
On the his journey the young boy died
Freezing under a tree alone
He would finally return to his Father's throne
Back with his mother the boy was pleased
The father's heart was still diseased
Money and worship was all he wanted
The jury and neighbors were all so haunted
That a man could abuse a mother and son
But feel no remorse for what he had done
For greed and pride are deadly sins
Anyone touched by them never wins
I warn all of you my friends
The deadly sins can never be cleansed
This is about stopping parental neglection I would change that.
