Getting a Vasectomy


Lord please forgive me
But I’ve got to get a vasectomy
Because to have a little girl older guys break their neck to see
Or a son that will get a medical degree
For a career in the street pharmacy
I don’t want that
I’ve got to get a vasectomy

I’m sorry but I don’t want a daughter to grow in this world
To raise a little girl that will talk loud
Show off skin and be proud
That she catches each eye of each guy in each crowd
This will not be allowed to take what’s private
And make it publicly shown
Just became a teenager and already trying to be grown
Wanting to look like a grown up
Wanting to act like a grown up
So she’ll think that sex is the first grown up tool
To lose her innocence because she’s told it’s cool
To have her first child before she finishes school
To follow some dumb boy because she’s in love with a fool
Who’ll most likely be old enough to be my little brother
Or is another dumb teen who thinks it’s keen to go under the cover
As the idea that’ll hover is to be a grown up
You have to do the grown up, these are his pleas
Lord don’t let me have a little girl be an early teen with a late period, please

I’m sorry but I also don’t want a son growing in this day
To be shown that it’s cool to play girls left and right
Day and night
To treat his mother like the world
But to be disrespectful to every other girl
And eventually
He will conventually change that
He will detach his emotions and pull that plug
No longer from his mother will he want a hug
Because he’s “hard” now and tries to be a thug
On that block slanging that rock
Feeling like a tough guy that can’t fight
Because he’s a punk holding a glock
Until a female stops to gawk at him
Then he’ll clutch the canon in his pants
And try to be grown up and do the “grown up” dance
Spitting fake romance until it’s a seed he plants
Then away he’ll prance because he lied about protection he had
I don’t want to live and see my flesh become a dead beat dad

Lord I’m sorry but I won’t procreate
I can’t associate myself with this teenage madness
Because of these ways, I’ve seen rage and sadness
All developed because the “grown up” characteristic
They’ve got to add this
They’ve got to include this to their system
I’m sorry Lord, but this is the best for the world
And this is the best for me
To avoid increasing the problem
I’m getting a vasectomy

{OK, I'm not really getting a vasectomy. I just thought this was an interesting way to look at the troubles plauging teenagers today. The issues they face and the things they go through because it's all become normal. It's become normal for a girl to chase attention she doesn't need, to get pregnant too soon. It's become normal for a guy to get a girl pregnant and leave, to become a street hustler. A decade ago it was to survive, now its just life. Interesting life huh?}
