The mother's of tomorrow do drink to enjoy

their pain and their heartache whether it's a girl or a boy

Taking their cocktail of drugs to ease their depression

and getting through life with their boozed obsession

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She is only 21 and got pregnant in a club

but to her it is just an inconvenience for her not to visit the pub

so she plows her booze down her waisteline

not stopping to think that her child won't be fine

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the end the drugs and booze will create

a child dependent upon the state

for their need and craving of this evil cocktail

will indeed lead them in life to fail.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mother's of the world please think long and hard before you drink

you are responsible for tomorrow's child don't leave us on the brink

Your bad habits and desperation need to be nipped in the bud

if you are to raise your children properley and do some good

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You cannot just open your legs and say please come on in

when you neglect your responsibilty and committ the sin

children are the life blood of tomorrow's society

so take a step back and get in touch with reality

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the same way when you choose to drink whilst carrying a life

is the same to go out with a knife and take someone's life

the poor little mite has no say in the way you behave

so put away that drink and the cigarette you crave.

Hi Concrete angel thanks for your input in to my poem really appreciate your comments, i'm just really stating what everyone really knows that our boozed obsessed society cannot escape the clutches of reality and there will be a price to pay at the end of the line and i'm not talking about the wages of sin and these people being judged i mean that the normal society will totally lack morality and responsibility, a frightening thought.

i wish i could fairly comment but being a man , i've never had to experience childbirth , now if you'd asked about the practice of making babies , then perhaps i could help .

That's easy terry one look from the trousersnake and it's champagne charlie time and up perriscope we go.

I liked it. First off, you need to fix the flow. You started shaky and stayed shaky. Also try to work on grammar and punctuation. It will help. After that, I liked it. Thanks for writing. Hope you enjoy my poetry. _the nickster_

Don't i ever? always get criticised about my sentence structure or grammar or now shaky poetry maybe i should give it all up as a bad joke ta for your comments even if it did sound as if you were sounding me out for unfair criticisms.

Perhaps the answer to persuade sensible behaviour with all of the pregnant women who choose this route would be for them to be blood tested during their pregnancies and if it is found that they have accessive amounts of alcohol in their system then the social services could be allerted about this form of abuse and when the child is born the baby might well go in to care for adoption, this would be indeed a grave step but the child's best interest should be served nevertheless.
The mother could be made aware of this final sanction if she doesn't mend her ways, tobbacco tests should also be conducted in this and future treatment in the nhs might also be put up for discussion by banning people who abuse themselves.

Cheers Viper glad to have your input in this instance yes i agree there is an awful lot of neglect not just with mother's taking a selfish attitude to abusing their bodies but also their unborn children and then there is the huge esculation in abandoning children whilst they go out and have a good time, why do these idiots have children in the first place?
A young child seems to die daily in either a house fire or left to fend for itself.

Ita not only their dereliction of the state of expectant motherhood , they betray but everything thta nature provides for the unborne .
They are carrying out a kind of euthanasia programme in their wombs.
I feel very strongly about this and I am glad that you've given it this very articulate expression.
Maybe if more poets like you taught them how we as asociety bestow our hopes for the future in their blessed bodies which they insist in defiling during pregnancy - and maybe they could see the revulsion of society at their selfish habits.
Well Done
Its quite beautifully written

Thanks Donkey i really appreciate your feedback i feel desperately sorry for the unborn children in this instance but i think we are now living in a self obsessed society where looking after number one and acting in this selfish way will become the norm it's not the kind of society i was brought up in and not the kind of society i really want to be part of they should hold their heads i shame.

hi! b. a very hard-hitting poem. u r right that no alcohol, drugs os smoke should be done by expectant moms. but r these club/bar frequenters concerned about the child. as u say, it is a mere inconvenience. i dread to think of what becomes of such children, once they land in this world.

this poem is insightful and a picture of reality that is sadly increasing around us. keep up this effort. lol. ;-)

Hi bubbly thanks for your interesting views on this and the other items you took the trouble to write in about i really appreciate it sorry for my doubting in the past so glad you shared appreciation of my creative words.

Don't understand Nicholas Watson's criticism of this poem! It is well written has a lovely rhythm to it and coveys it's message well - what else could we ask for? It is strong not in the least shaky!

I couldn't agree with you more maybe he's a crossdresser or maybe she is masquarading as a man hee hee lol thanks for your input irwin nice to hear posative comments from one so articulate.

I applaud this piece! What a great job you did to describe what so many girls are doing with their bodies and lives today. You turn on the t.v. and there's another girl out there saying she wants a baby. Babies are not like playing "house" at all.

I was extremely careful (didn't drink, smoke, do any drugs) while I was pregnant with my son and he has autism. I desperately wanted to have a little girl of my own, but couldn't due to unforeseen circumstances. I know I could have adopted a baby girl, but didn't. I know understand...God only gives you what you can handle at that time in your life.

I hate to see these young kids out there who wind up unhappy because of poor choices they have made. They not only destroy their own lives, but their precious childrens' lives as well. That breaks my heart.

Hello cathy thank you ever so much for your valied contribution to this topic it was really appreciated and i can feel and empathise with what you have stated, these days kids are having kids and they grow up without responsible parents themselves so how are they going to manage in their lives with something which they create as an irresponsible joy ride taking all and sundrie with them on a crusade of madness.
I'm so glad that i managed to find a topic which touches at peoples heartstrings and may yet highlight the need for social awareness and emotional inteligence in relation to bringing up children, thankfully we won't have to re-live childhood again as it is once in your existence and i don't want to be re-born if there was such a thing.

Well someone had to say it. Good job
