In this world of hate and lies

A world full of "hows" and "whys"

Divorce becoming not so odd

With bonds broken that were sealed by God

Children abused at such a young age

So much hurt impossible to gauge

Politicians cloud our mind

With people to vote for of every kind

Wars that rage overseas

Levels of pain on so many degrees

Sex being pressured onto teens

Struggling to find out what it all means

Discrimination against races

Such prejudice against other faces

Defining love becomes such an arduous endeavor

When people don’t realize love lives forever

Drugs work their way into our schools

Turning typical teens into desperate fools

Teens watch their parents get drunk and stoned

Kids feeling so disowned.

Being pressured by your peers

Pressure soon becoming your worst fear

Same sex marriage all over the news

Kids this young shouldn’t have to choose

Teenage depression everywhere

The pain is sometimes too much to bear

The suicide numbers continue to climb

The sound of death a never ending chime

Kids can no longer call their homes a safe place

A dream that is too far to chase

Future mothers become so torn

With helpless children and babies unborn

Corruption that spreads throughout our lives

Stabbing our friends with countless knives

In this teenage world today

Teens have to say what they need to say

In this teenage world today…
