The State Of The Nation
by Albert Watson

What's gone wrong with the people of this nation?
From my understanding, man's the peak of Gods creation.
A home with mom and dad makes a union complete,
so why do many live just like dogs upon the street?

They no longer look for courtship, but a one night stand,
so many single mothers we now see across our land.
Father, he's just not around to support the mom or child,
no role model, no daddies love, no wonder some run wild.

And what I find so heartbreaking, so very, very sad
a child will have five siblings, each one a different dad,
'So where then is commitment? I ask and oft repeat.
Gone ! they have liaisons just like dogs upon the street.
