the wayward parents


The wayward parents
They forget when they go shopping
They glue their eyes to the goods
They shut out others when they look

The missing children
They have boundless energy
They are curious to see things
The display on the shops...

They will go to have a peek
Thinking they are at homes
The adventures they will play
The curiosity make them go

When they are gone
The wayward parents start to panic
They search high and low
In the crowd it takes just a few seconds

The tears will flow
It will not help the situation
The children have gone
When parents forget to play like hawks

In the crowded malls
The syndicate runners keep watch
They are humans but no compassion
Their lives are buried in the hot cauldron

They keep a look out
For the unprotected children
Once they lure them
It is goodbye

The wayward parents
We see them in the malls
When will they become hawks?
The predators are hunting

Don't take your eyes away from the kids
Watch your children as you take them shopping
Let's your eyes see wide through every place
You never will know what lapse concentration do
