TORN

TORN…

Ripped between two worlds,

Pulled between two ages,

Fractured hearts and minds,

Confused,

Split,

Compelled to choose,

Between,

Family & Friends,

Family culture & Western culture,

Study hard & muck around,

Good & bad,

Right & wrong,

Sex & chastity,

Drugs & clean,

Forced to choose & no adult explaining why,

No teacher pointing out the elephant bulging inside your skin,

WHAT WOULD YOU GOOGLE ANYWAY?,

Some turn towards their friends

And make their family bad & wrong,

Some turn towards their family,

And make their society bad, & wrong,

Far too many decades of mums & dads turning away,

Far too many decades of societies & authorities pretending it never was their responsibility,

But ripping, spinning, young adolescents left to their own devises,

Now have entered a whole new level of rebellion,

Guns in hand,

Hatred in hearts,

Expressing their own style of revenge,

Adults are now asking; how did this get so bad?
