WHY DO IT?

Why do some people feel
The need to vandalize others
Property or break in and rob
Their homes?  Was it a dare?

Do they feel more important
Stealing other people's things?
Or maybe it's an initiation
To join up with a gang.

People they don't know, who
Have done nothing to them.
If someone did it to their property,
They'd retaliate with weapons.

If they're bored--get a job.
Join a youth center or help
People in their community.
They'll feel better about their self.

Drugs and booze aren't the
Answer--they just add to the mess.
You'll see a friend one day--next thing
You know, they've passed.

Do something positive to
Make your family proud.
If your family's not together--you still
Know you did good, stand out from the crowd.

Each time you achieve something--
The better you'll feel.  And know
It won't come easy, you must
Work hard to learn and grow.

So stop destroying property
And stealing from others.
You'll just end up in prison, or
Be living in the gutter.
