The Raffish Ruffians

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

You paint a sad picture with words...Sadly this behaviour is endemic the world over. crying hug purple heart

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.wine M.M
