Birthday Bash Relay. Excited on Second Place! Now for various WDC contests and activities |
There are crooks at every corner In different costumes Crooks disguised as saints, as saviour Crooks disguised as brides or grooms. There are crooks disguised as advisors to help and guide others But the worst crooks of all Are those disguised as fathers or mothers. These are the crooks who have children for their own selfish reason Not because they want and love a child You know -- that's worse than treason. To hold the marriage together or because society does expect it And then, when the child is born They quite near to reject it. They resent the imposition of this little soul, upon their time They grumble and complain They're losing out on their prime. They could've had a career They could've done this or that they could've changed the world But for this brat to be babysat. The child grows up carrying the guilt "I shouldn't exist!" And that voice in the head Through life does persist. It affects whatever the person does Each job, each relationship It tells on health and happiness It ruins many a friendship. Those crooks disguised as parents Steal a lot more than gold They steal the life of another person And of many more untold. Please, before you conceive a life Think - are you ready to commit? It's a big responsibility Don't take it if you're unfit! The damage done then Is tragic beyond measure When you're a neglectful parent You've stolen a lot more than treasure. 44 Lines 245 Words for
