And your mother boy
Knows she that you too needs
All the love and the care that you
Must receive at this tender age?
And your father and your uncles and your brothers
Do they know that you need further instruction from them
So prevent you from running with
The wrong crowd of the criminals elements
And the vagabonds of no particular origin?
And your country that needs you
And the school that must educate you and lead you
Towards responsible adulthood
And the church that must rid you of your demons
And preach morality into your crude skull
Do they care about you at all?
And this society that's so indifferent to what's going on
Do they know that in the likes of you they have created
The serial who is sauntering towards their fortified homes
To catch them and kill them while they slumber
In the warm blankets of their criminal indifference?
