How Children Are Raised Poem by Randy McClave

Let's not ever forget
Or soon this fact we will all regret,
We have some children being raised to become racists and bigots
Soon insults and prejudices will flow through them like running spigots.
An some will even become a homophobe
And maybe even known around the globe,
So, let's all be worried and also so very scared
Because children are already being prepared.
Soon we will have children being raised to become drinkers and alcoholics
Soon their life will be sadness and bollocks,
And they won't care for their future or their partners
Soon they'll be standing in opposite corners.
And instead of sitting down to contemplate and think
They would rather just sit down and have another drink,
They will see no problem at all with it
So, they will drink and drink and drink as they sit.
Soon we will have children being raised to smoke
Maybe until they have a stroke,
Where they think it makes them look like their idol an adult
But, soon cancer will be their life ending result.
But, to the aroma and scent of the tobacco they can't ever get enough
As they slowly huff and puff,
Then their smoking they can't stop or even want to call it off
Soon they will earn the smokers cough.
Soon we will have children being raised to become druggies
Even before they get out of their Huggies,
Soon they will get high with heroin and meth and also pot
Soon every illegal drug they will use and have sought.
And soon they will be making it and selling it as well
Soon, their life will be no more than a living hell,
Sadly soon the only promise that certainly will be in their future
It is seeing and having a suture.
Soon we will have children being raised to become bullies and abusers
Womanizers and wife beaters and complete losers,
Girls being raised not to care about themselves or their own body
Not caring if they are raised badly or even treated shoddy.
And many children are being raised to always accuse and judge
And always to seek pity and to always hold a grudge,
Then soon they will learn to curse, lie, cheat and hate
Hell most certainly will be their ultimate and ending fate.
Children are daily and constantly being shown and taught
What they had never truly wanted or sought,
But, it's not the teachers or friends or celebrities doing the teaching
It's not even the politicians doing the preaching.
The children do or become from what they hear and see
Like the new fruit branch growing for an old fruit tree,
Parents are seeing their lifestyle and their beliefs being doomed
So, their children by their parents are being groomed.
