Parents, Parents
Parents, parents I do whine;
keep an eye on your children when they’re online.
Parents, parents don’t be a boob ( - an ignorant foolish person);
be aware what you children watch on YouTube.
Parents, parents examine and look;
be careful what you children post on Facebook.
Parents, parents you’re on the clock;
your children shouldn’t be allowed to watch Tick-Toc.
Parents, parents be aware of apps with chat rooms,
that lead your children to their doom.
Parents, parents you may think I’m insane,
until you’re the one who is in pain.
Until your child performs a trick,
and hangs themself; then your heart is sick.
Until your child is leered from their home,
raped in the woods then left to die alone
Parents, parents I do whine;
keep an eye on your children when they’re online.
