The school run beckons early morning

Kids begin the same routine

Police car sirens break the silence

Drugs bust mayhem, same old scene



Noisy neighbours Pit Bulls barking

Last weeks chips strewn on the floor

Swearing loudly morning drinking

Giro thrown through open door



Tesco van pulls in the driveway

Shopping on the state is here

Bags of crisps and frozen Pizza

Wine and whisky six pack beer



Dad's still sleeping its mid morning

Last nights drinking hits him hard

Bills need paying "Final Warning"

Same old scene in this back yard



Have no moral's have no backbone

Never seen a day at work

Social worker rings on home phone

It's the school, son's gone berserk


Uproar midst the morning silence

Someone must be made to pay

Been brought up on life of violence

Nothing more that we can say.



Blame it lies on parents shoulders

Shouting out is so inane

The lad should look to those much older

We are not the one's to blame.

Just a social comment, off the beaten track for me but it does us all good to try something different for a change ! ;)

Variety is the spice of life apparently.

Really good,

Becoming even more true and widespread unfortunately. :(
