A Child's Prayer

love, devotion
a motion that can either build you up or break you down
it can make you feel like a clown with your face painted and slab on with makeup
to only one day break up and never make up
it can make you feel worthless as they leave wordless
shhh, quite don't make a riot
as they walk out that door leaving you all alone
then they never have time to pick up a phone
never questioning why they couldn't try
to love you with all of their heart as you as you're sitting there torn apart
thrown back into a world of pain and depression
as they are sick with their obsession; not helping the recession
with their overspending of the green that could help her children
that could help one of her daughters that is still in school
reading like a fool and trying to remain cool
who doesn't know the meaning of the word love
her only help is praying from above
who cries out for her mom every night
praying that she'll be here tonight
so that everything can go back to normal
and they will never be another quarrel
then her mom will finally have a moral
to find her way back home so she won't have to roam
like Dorthy walking endlessly on that yellow brick road
her head filled with a bunch of load
missing her family like crazy and trying not to be lazy
while everything is just getting hazy
so I pray to the lord to save me
then I can be mom's baby and act like a lady
and nothing is gonna be shady
while Momma is around
so now we can all be found and not bound
to the slave of the devil's hands, that travels lands
to destroy lives and capture wives
so they can cheat on their husbands without a care
and come back to their evil lair while giving a glare
to all who dare to take them on as little children draw with a crayon
then go to sleep on a warm bed they can lay on
dreaming that just one day in the middle of may
that Mommy will just finally come home
