"It Hurts"

Is it only me or does it seem as if the teens in our society are constantly having babies

It is proven to be true and I've seen it with my own eyes that this is no accusation

Have we forgotten what the bible says about children out of wedlock

I think not because it has become a new trend like the time that ticks and tocks upon a clock

Surely we all make mistakes but it is not a mistake after you repeat it twice

You keep letting it in and now it has become a habit in your life

How can we avoid this it keeps happening as if it is a daily routine

Only time will tell what the day after tomorrow will bring

We have to do something please save the future generation I live in

Help me is there anyone out there that hears my silent cries to win

They have their babies and decide its time to drop out of school

Yet they claim the motto is I'm smarter than you think and my mama didn't raise no fool

Help me to help them because we have to make it stop

It may only hurt you a little but it hurts me a lot

I totally agree with this poem, whenever i get on fb all i ever see is how girls i went to high school are glamorizing living off the government or having multiple kids at a young age. It really makes me sad to see how the world is that these young girls think that is all they are worth and they will nnever know what it was like to have anything different because they through their livelihood away.

Thank you for commenting. I agree with you as well, but hey that's the world we live in. It's sad.

This is great. :) It hurts me a lot too and I try to help as much as I can. We have forgotten what the Bible says. It'd be a lot easier on everybody if we obeyed God.
