It's a sick, sick world

What is with the people in this world?
Who could really do that to a child?
And have it eating at their conscience all day long.
All I can do for them is give hope.
Hope that the people will suffer and burn. All day long.
Because what sick person does that to a child?

What is with the children,
Who went to get some help?
Turned away to deal with problems all night long.
All I can do for them is give advice.
Advice to huddle together all night long.
Because what sick person could really get them all?

What is with the teens in this world?
Who could really take aim and shoot at their parents?
And risk harsh imprisonment all life long.
All I can do for them is give some love.
Love they have never seen all life long.
Because what sick person leaves them to rot?

What is with the adults in this world?
Who grew from teens that grew from the children.
To continue the destructive pattern for generations to come.
All I can do for them is save their children.
Children who may have a future for generations to come.
Because who that has lived through it can save themselves?
