From Where Did They Get This? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

From Where Did They Get This?



Too many young,
Have been stung on the run.
By what their elders still do,
And have done.

Too many young,
Think everything is fun.
To do their vicious mischief,
Blaming someone.

'From where did they get this? '

From those who taught them how to deceive.

'Where they get this? '

From those who taught them how to deceive.

Too many kids are raising kids to stay kids.
With their troubles doubled,
Turning their lives into rubble.

'Who brought them to this?
These innocent kids.'

Those who taught them how to deceive.

'Who brought them to this?
These innocent kids.'

Those who taught them how to deceive.

'Who? '

The ones unchanging what they believe.

'Who? '

The ones unchanging what they believe.
