Poetry that thinks out loud

Downward spiral.

People talk of breakdowns in society.
Well it all begins with lack of variety.
Kids hanging round with nothing to do.
Boredom of looking for something new.
There is nothing to keep them amused.
No wonder these kids end up confused.

Smashing a phone box gives some a kick.
Knocking on doors running off real quick.
Starting fights with strangers in the street.
Get drunk until their unstable on their feet.
With nothing to do no wonder they mope.
Getting easily persuaded to chill on dope.

I have seen these things with my own eyes.
How to find fun they strangely improvise.
It only takes one offence to be a criminal.
And being a re offender is not unusual.
Among other youths their seen as cool.
And from then on it's a downward spiral.

It don't take much to sought them out.
They need to scatter more youth clubs about.
Get children into learning young.
And give them more options of having fun.
