Teens
I sit thinking how the conditions have been,
Wondering what happened to the discipline;
Kids today are out of control as it seems,
Acting carefree with no goals or dreams;
There just seems to be a lack of respect,
Anything in authority they want to reject;
Parents more permissive and are too lax,
Teachers tend to be turning their backs;
Not accusing each one on this occasion,
It just seems like an entire generation;
You can tell me if you think I am wrong,
But many of them seem more headstrong;
Now I do not think that I was in the dark,
As a teen never making any snide remark;
I respected and listened to mom and dad,
Never really got into trouble or been bad;
Something is missing now more than ever,
A relationship with God that they sever;
If we don't want to discipline with the rod,
At least we need to push them back to God.
