Tears Of Ice

Mothers are crying tears of ice The children have turned to drugs and crime In despair they plead with celestial beings To mend the fragments of shattered dreams Candles burn brightly on marbled altars Incense rising in diaphanous swirls Hands joined heads bowed lips silently move Tears fall and doubts are cast About parenting skills in the past Lead them back Dear Lord they pray Our beautiful children have gone astray Satan is playing with our girls and boys They love his playground he provides the toys The wheeling, dealing, using and abusing This is the life the children are choosing Talking is done with guns and knives Playthings to them the scourge of lives Mothers are crying tears of ice.

Well written poem.
Children are a worry.
They go through a rebellious stage but come through it in most cases.
