A Child with No Praise

CATEGORY

A child with no praise causes these kind of days

Your words are often micromanaged

Yet your rants and raves are never challenged

Your brain, thoughts and words are all over the place

Seems to be unbalanced

Your voice you raise cause you never got praise

A pat on the back, you never got that

So desperate for attention, might I care to mention

A man seeking praise, you grew up to be

Not blind to the fact, just didn’t care to see

Your actions truly display and reflect

That you were a child of pain and neglect

Got Damn… You were the outcast of the fam

Never shown real love, just showered with wealth

So for others you never understood how the cards were dealt

Wealthy in the money causes one to grow wild

Probably never had a friend growing up as a child

Never knew how to care, never knew how to share

Your hunger for attention and affection as a child

Turned you into a showboat that lasted longer than a while

All the attention has to be on you only

But deep inside you are miserable and lonely

Four years in this circus capade

Never taking account for the mistakes you made

Never yo fault, you don’t take the blame

Always someone else, so you claim

There are times you are confusional and other times delusional

You wasn’t prepared for the job and everyone know

When you start talking, the lies just grow

A whole story of exaggeration, led by your wild imagination

This is not a gimmick, but a deadly pandemic

Over a hundred thousand people dead in their grave

Tired of all your rants and raves

The whole four years you’ve been so bitter

Spending nights lashing out on Twitter

A man seeking praise, you grew up to be

Yet you never understood the country’s tears of thee

Bitterness and criticism

Degrading, disrespect, name calling truly reflects

The years of hate and harbored hurt

To the black and brown you treat like dirt

Injustice, racism, political corruption

None of this should be taken as funny

Cheeks are turned, voices silent

All for the greed and the love of money

People around you are totally weak

They see what’s going on, but are scared to speak

Don't wanna lose they job, cause they know you good at firing

So they settle for the disrespect cause no one else is hiring

Wow how this country is deep in a pit

Defeat is near, the question is, can you handle it?

A child with no praise grew to be an old man still yearning praise

Parents hug your children, encourage them

Show them love and praise

So when they grow up we can thank God

We won’t have these kind of days
