I cry for parents who’re so busy <br />They never have any time to play <br />I cry for children whose childhood were <br />Suppressed or spoilt or stolen away <br /> <br />I sob for girls who become mothers <br />Long before they are really ready <br />I wail for boys who become fathers <br />Long before they can keep things steady <br /> <br />I shed tears for that sad little girl <br />Who doesn’t know the warmth of mother’s love <br />I howl and I bawl for that mad boy <br />Whose lone father is the One above <br /> <br />My eyes bleed for the indignity <br />God rescue us from insanity!<br /><br />howard simon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/weeping-for-the-family/
