It Takes A Village...

How many children will be left behind?
They only require that you share your mind
But we rather walk around pretending to be blind
until we find
that same kids we chose to ignore
decided to rob the corner store
Now you are ready to explore, the cause
after they started breaking the laws
you know the problem  just as you knew it when it was being created
remember when you innocently stated
it wasn't your problem and
you had no desire to solve them
Now you want to condemn the parents
when  it was clearly apparent
that they needed help
for it takes an entire village to raise a child
So don't complain if they become wild
when you took no hand in raising them
I don't wanna hear u crying Victim
These children are the real victims
raised in a system
where wisdom
isn't given or or imparted
and you wonder why they are so guarded
their growth and development became retarded
from something their elders started
caught up in the local drama
children raising themselves
or their grandmamas
whose too tired to put up with the demands of such a role
they lose control
and we all lose
So I choose to deal with the future problems today
Too critical for there to be a delay
The future is only a second away
