PULL THE TRIGGER

...PULL THE TRIGGER...

I remember when we were young and Little,

When boys play with grasshoppers or Beetle..

And girls play games like Suwe and Ten Ten,

Then both do 'I call on' and run around like Hen..

The time when childhood was fun and Interesting,

When our lives were lively and far less Depressing.

We play table soccer using our buttons as the Ball,

We play touch and tag till we run around and Fall..

We close our eyes to play bojuboju-Hide and Seek,

We get up and go everytime all through the Week.

I remember quite well, we play football without Hate,

Sometimes competitions are played until time is Late..

We run to our elders when we see them to help with their Chores,

We assist when they carry load, and if too heavy, we open the Doors..

Children weren't prompted to do things for the sake of Reward,

We simply watch, learn to act and that's how we moved Forward..

But today, all the young ones do is stay indoor to make videos and click Phones,

Talking about how they want to make money when they're not even Grown..

It could look like fun, but eventually they end up with sheer Depression,

Anxiety clouding their head and mind and they're not open to Suggestions..

The new youth lack respect for the elderly and the ones Old,

Their confidence is good, but real love is running dry and Cold..

Yes, we live in a modern world, but their ignorance has grown Bold..

The characters and behaviors they ought to buy, has been Sold..

That's why respect and values are dead, they've gone down the Drain,

We know the Devil exist, yet, there are young ones who are well Trained..

The fact is, we don't need to live with a Clergy or grow with saints to be Better,

Because today, a person could give you a gun and still choose not to Pull the Trigger..
