My Observations

We've lost the meaning of sister and brother.

We've lost the love and nurturing of mother.

We've confused father with farther away from the blood that ties.

We've replaced the truth with lies.

We hate our dads and make our mothers cry because daughters repeat the cycle of their lives.

Those that suffer to break the cypher, constantly have to shake off the crabs that don't aspire to lift themselves a little higher, but complain about a point they can't explain.

When hurt people, hurt people, we have traded good for evil.

From a generation no name to a generation lost, that don't know the meaning of truly paying the cost.

We've traded women's liberation for constant inconsideration.

Where men are no longer men, instead they trade dreams for material things rather than gaining what hard work means because they believed in the facade that money brings.

We've traded quality for quantity; where lust is a constant entity.

We've traded our spirituality for the latest fad; where few are happy and most are mad.

Wonderful work. This line blew me away - "When hurt people, hurt people, we have traded good for evil."
