 If They Took Away
I seem to look back in my mind
Every now and again~
And I see so much of it all
Being very much of the same~
Are we actually teaching things
We do not honestly wish to be~
Who are the powers that
Control a lot of what our children see~
If we took away some T.V.shows
That are all violance in some way~
And hero criminals on the day~
If removed were the movies about
Those that prey on children and women too~
And some about having ones witts scared out
By vampires to name a few~
The movie business would then go broke
They concentrate it seems~
On things like hurting someone just for fun
And totaly destroying dreams~
Without knowing children do watch
The same old same old every day~
They buy games that hurt and kill
And concider it now as play~
These droplets of thinking remain in minds
Ever so young and in their learning years~
And they without knowing feel this is alright
To watch the world being torn apart and set to tears~
Theres movies about racism
On a grand scale in many a way~
And few about values and integrity
And positive stamina on any day~
Every now and then Ill see one
That I feel educates anyone at all~
About someone doing right by those
That when need help recieve a call~
But I feel the powers that be
Prepare others via these shows~
For something real they have in mind
In future times and on it goes~
Is it any wonder we have such crime
And the sickest things occur each day~
Ones only got to watch the news
And its all there for all in every way~
There are no deterants much at all
And we still have films for all to see~
That are there to tell minds so young
That this is just life and destiny~
Why cant we just inforce love and hope
And give a brighter picture of time to come~
The movie business needs an over haul
Why has it all got to be so glum~
