This mentorship should be every parents duty and perhaps the need for outside assistance wouldn't be so great. But I also believe it is every man's duty to help his fellow man in any way he can. Society has teetered on toilet's edge for a long time. But it's not over til good men give up. (By men, I mean mankind: -) Not just Y chromosome possessors.)
In a perfect world we can agree that it is every parents job to mentor their children but some children are tossed to the streets and we have to stand by them helping them to help themselves. Having said that much of the mentoring is left to the individual to want and to help themselves, this is the reality of the ghetto, the poverty stricken children from areas of no hope, it's so true Kelly so this poem speaks to those young people that even without parents they can uplift and progress realizing their dreams instead of falling into the valley of drugs and alcohol.
Do these people have enough inner reflection to do as you ask? - I doubt it.
People who have fallen usually fall on their backs facing upward, that's the first step, they're facing the right way and that's up. Many of us have fallen and many have come back to live not only good but great lives. People can climb mountains with just a little help and often it's very small actions that make a change, . the unfortunate thing is most people are too busy and many too judgmental with stereotypical views. Thank you for commenting Paul.....
This is big time business, As long as there are suppliers, the problem will spread. With corrupt enforcers the situation is likely to get worse. your lovely poem says it all, The rest of us can only help in a small way. Thanks Melvina.
