Life's a party held for your good measure For spoiled rotten brats who lives with ease Still hoping to steal more family treasure Picking fruits from a basket as you please
What causes all you lost souls to suffer Existing in a world so filled with strife Can you think of any streets much tougher With people who don't value their own life
Once happy playgrounds now filled with anger Ruled by bully gangs looking for some fights Like watching neon signs flash with danger With sirens and strobing red and blue lights
Stumbling home drunk after dark so raffish Can be so proud of the life you lavish

Dear Yankee,
You paint a sad picture with words...Sadly this behaviour is endemic the world over.
Heavy....true...REALITY...the 21st century. Benjamin Franklin would be turning over in his grave.

Dear Yankee, this aptly describes the times in which we live as the bible succintly portrays as the last days.Men advancing from bad to worse and an increase in lawlessness as never had been seen before happening at one period on a global scale. M.M
