God for a day

Sherry Keown 1960 (Detroit)

Rhymed
Our kids are dying for the clothes that they wear, such trivial things at best. Jackets and sneakers have suddenly become more important than life I guess.
And what about the 10 year old, already selling cocaine on the streets, with mom and grandma's blessing to approach everyone they meet.
I don't know anymore, I'm confused and I'm scared, how has mankind gone so far astray?
Yet all of the answers could suddenly be mine,
If I could be God for a day ..
