Grumpy Old Rant

Hey life can be a bitch
And growing up is hard
It's not all Romeo & Juliet
God bless the words of the Bard

Think you have it tough
Just stop and think of those
That have absolutely nothing
No school, no food, no clothes

It's not called growing pains for nothing
Your life will be shaped by these years
But man up for goodness sake
Of course there'll be blood, sweat and tears

Emotions are at an all time low
Hormones at an all time high
Be thankful for the roof over your head
There are others who have only sky

A warm bed to rest your weary head
Don't get up until twelve
There's others the same age as you
Who have to walk miles to get water from a well

Oh no my iPad is broke!
I've no credit on my phone!
They're lucky if they have a pen and pencil
Never mind finding somewhere to 'roam'

Its not just those in underdeveloped countries
There's abuse and neglect here too
So just think about their growing pains
Before you moan about being so blue

When you get older you'll look back and think
God those years were so easy
The stresses and strains of adulthood
Are no longer bright and breezy
