Busy people have no time to bother
unless you're family, you simply don't count
seems you're a bit bent out of shape, don't waste
your breath, your mom and dad really don't care
perhaps you feel that is unjust, you're right
even if you're their only child, a kid
on their own needs loving kindness, busy
people don't care if you're their first or third
little terror to come out of mom's womb,
exactly when will you realize time
has no room for excess chatter, sparrows
argue incessantly about squirrels,
virtually everyday they quarrel with
each other about nothing of value
now pretend you're a needy, little kid
of course you have no sense at all to talk
to say what you want about what you feel
is important in a world without love
maybe they love you, they just don't know how
even if time were elastic, to hug
their kids, you are family, you still don't count,
of course, this line is unfair, life is cruel
be a good kid, study hard, get good grades,
only don't bother your parents, they have
their own concerns to keep them busy, please
have the decency to get a good job
even if you studied Literature,
really, they need you to take care of them
