When Family Becomes Famine.
All that is familiar reduced to strangers, haunted by the absense of what was love
Children are growing up way too fast at technological speeds they can't handle
When family becomes famine!
When discourse
becomes Divorce,
what follows
is remorse,
as families
become famine
split by law
into two parts.
In pain, that is
doled out amongst all,
a shattered marriage
is shared unequally,
King Solomon is long dead,
yet the children stand divided
unequally
against the love of both.
Add to this
the grievous mix
of babies being
born by babies,
or aborted into
non-family status.
Simmer the above
with television and movies
replacing mom's arm
and her reading,
as well as dad and
mom's quality time
sacrificed to work
to pay for the increases
caused by glut, and need.
Drain the fat of
excess lust from some
Faiths, which are
abusing thier own
flock's children
by the thousands.
Add a pinch of bitter herbs,
as single parents struggle
into the madness of abuse,
of their own children,
when life turns sour,
all around the angelic faces
that they can't stand
to care for anymore.
Heap on levels of grief as
schools keep piling
tons of homework
upon the children's backs,
bent like pilgrims
they progress
down rocky paths
where there is
no time for father,
no time for mother,
just homework
and proficiency tests,
that replace
evenings of love,
games and sharing
time together.
Where will it all end????
When no child
is left behind, but all are rushed
into adulthood,
Much faster then
they can mature.
a world of little adults
where innocence is lost
beneath the staggering
weight of reality
