This piece rings with nothing but truth. Our world has turned into a sad place to live. A sad placed to raise our most precious commodities...our children.

the children have lost all respect years of therapy from parental negleckidnapped, molested and left to die
we sit back and wonder why

How sad we even have to wonder why. When we should be celebrating our children.

the elderly worked hard, paid their dues
their minds no longer theirs to lose
all the life savings for retirement
high priced medicine is where it went

What a shame that the cost of everything has gone so high...that the elderly have to choose between taking their medicine or eating.

Excellent!!!
Take care Cindy

A great piece Bob and important too. If only more people would read poetry/messages like this and actually take heed. Written well with lovely flow.
All the very best,
Ben

Another powerful piece well done

Bob, I have just re- read this and I would like to comment further than good job blah blah. This is an inspiring piece and as a mother I truly fear for the world I am bringing my children up in because of how things are turning out as you rightly said in this piece.
