LAMENT OF A THROW A WAY CHILD

If I have not been taught How can I teach my children? If I have never received love How can I learn to give it? If my mother is a junkie and my father is in jail Who will set my moral compass? If religion is not taught at home or in school How will I know God? If I nver leave the concrete jungle How will I idenify the smell of the ocean? If I move from home to home How will I learn family values? If you fail to hear or see me How will I know I exist?
