Lost Community

by Nigel S. Daring


Homes abandoned, yet they are homes
Zones cordoned, yet there are phones
Beg your pardon, to where you roam?
"Nine to five to stay alive"
And where are the children?
"They’re occupied"
With what, may I ask?
"All the things modern society contrive"

Things fall apart and it's ripping the heart

Signs of a failing community
Children are the first you see
Our future in jeopardy
We got no time for family

Things fall apart and it's ripping the heart

Without watching eyes, the children will stray
Their paths will come to haunt us someday
Babies having babies, such an atrocity
Who will lead, when leadership is focused on making money?

Things fall apart and it's ripping the heart

Children have no respect, no developed intellect
No good interest 
It's all about sex
Who can be the best at nothingness

Things fall apart and it's ripping the heart

These kids are our future
