Weeping for the Family

I cry for parents who’re so busy
They never have any time to play
I cry for children whose childhood were
Suppressed or spoilt or stolen away

I sob for girls who become mothers
Long before they are really ready
I wail for boys who become fathers
Long before they can keep things steady

I shed tears for that sad little girl
Who doesn’t know the warmth of mother’s love
I howl and I bawl for that mad boy
Whose lone father is the One above

My eyes bleed for the indignity
God rescue us from insanity!
