Only in fairy tales.
Exist this so called "Happy Ending"
Where are the details?
Is there a book pending.

Growing up not able to tell the truth from the lies
The so called adults are just kids in disguise
Some words are straight then there's the ones that would bend
What happened to the adults that would help turn these boys to men

Where the adults that are willing to stand up and face responsibilities
The ones who are humble in all his ways and learns thru there humility
I aint talking bout the ones of course and staying misdirected
The ones who try but struggle and look to god for protection

Some one please speak to us and tell us the truth
Cause obviously its not seen how these adults have impacted the youth
Parents tend to get lost and give up cause they don't know what to do
But when you wonder why these kids not nothing its cause they reflections of you

Is it not know that these adults are how our generation is sampled
Kids, confused lost and hurt because you are not an example
So when these men get they heads together and gone and step up
Cause if these women can do it then its time for you to man up

If you with these different women and ready for you seed
Then you need to take a second and just pull up the sleeve
No longer is it just about you and how you the center of attention
But your setting an example and your the beginning of repetition

But in a perfect world these men raise the youth to what a family needs
A good head youthful child that's not just another lost seed
In that perfect world you aint gotta think of pain, bond, post or bail
But the only down fall to that world is its only a fairy tale


The author's comments:
Only In Fairy Tales is what I see as a wake up call to not only the men and fathers but all adults and role models. The up and coming generation need people to look up and forward to. This is all I had to say on them and my view.

I love this so much, I believe its beautifully written. All the words work together to provide a new perspective that not many people would have thought to express.

hm, i enjoy this. i enjoy this. it's different from my own perception of fairy tales, which are my once-a-never princesses and such, and it focuses on men.~! nice work!
