Are we raising a nation of tramps and whores?

Sending our daughters to the streets in scores

Dressing them cheaply, in immodest apparel

Bidding their innocence a fond farewell

Little girls dressing as if there's no one to care

Loose morals are seen in the clothes that they wear

Mothers approving and Fathers condoning

Teachers molesting

Hypocrites disowning.

Look in the mirror before you walk out the door!

Are your parents aware their Angel's viewed as a whore?

Or are we now our daughter's madams and pimps?

Selling our babies to the high paying tricks

Are we raising a nation of psychotic thugs?

Gang bangers, drug dealers and users of drugs

Part-time fathers yet full-time bums

Not giving their children the smallest of crumbs

Are you just a male or are you a Real Man?

Male simply cuz of what hangs in your pants.

Male simply cuz you urinate standing.

Male simply cuz your kids whom you're stranding.

Where are the men to teach our boys to be men?

Our boys are left clueless with a need to pretend.

Have we become so immoral and debased?

Our actions make reality something not faced

Are we raising a nation of conscienceless killers?

Psychopaths, Sociopaths, Sadistic thrill-seekers

Fools shooting up schools and blowing up buildings

Reporters making them famous. Is this the message we're sending?

What happened to 'One Nation Under God'?

What happened to 'In God We Trust'?

What happened to the morals of our forefathers?

What happened to doing right as a must?

Instead of ski jackets we opt for kevlar and guns

Instead of values and ethics we give weapons to our sons

Instead of protecting, we defile our young

We have FAILED to raise a nation, yet we think we've won
