All Things Not Needed
Steven Bowman 1997 (Voorhees Township, NJ)
When you first started cursing,
You’ve got soap in your mouth.
They’d say there’s no swearing,
They’d ground you for a month.
Parents that need their children,
Trying to stop any type of curses.
When you’re young, all-forgiving,
Just don’t swear, see it all works.
I think of this as a really bad thing,
Swearing is a thing, it’s not a need.
Just don’t rap about all drug killing,
Don’t be this and do not be greedy
.
I need the world to be so perfectly,
It’s already filled with the pollutions.
Our future children, killing so sadly,
We really need this for constitutions.
