No time

A child is screaming in the back yard
crying for his mom.
But she will not listen, she's to busy
she has no time to come.

He comes home from school
wants to show his report, something to appreciate.
But his mamma isn't there
she's still at work, he has to wait.

The child is in pain
he feels hurting.
But mamma wipes it away, he has to move on
she still has to do some housekeeping.

He wants to discuss with his father
about the things he went wrong.
But daddy is too tired
he already worked all week long.

All the child needs is some love and affection
wanting his parents to be proud.
But living in this society
he has to live with doubts.

So he works his way around
on his own.
No need for interfering
he ''CAN'' do this all alone..
