“I’m worried, I’m angry- someone needs to try harder,
What use is it to say nothing? it’s like soap that will not lather,
Look Billie Jean I’m not Luke’s father, but Yes I’m still concerned,
I’ve watched him grow up all these years I’m not gonna watch him burn,
I can see a light at the end of the tunnel all he has to do is turn;
A new leaf that is, and drop these habits, a point of no return:
He has so much potential but his friends lead him astray,
Typical story in this era but change begins today!”
{Luke is the kind of guy that grew up without a real hero,
Don’t get me wrong he DOES know his dad but Ricky is a zero;
At the age of 53 he’s still hoping to be signed
When he’s not promoting mixtapes he’s out there on the grind
Selling weed and bootleg DVD’s a life that lacks a purpose,
Sad but true that when you have no goals your life can become worthless,
I pray that won’t be Luke because his talent’s not a fluke,
Artistically inclined- he writes, he paints, he plays the flute;
If he stays in education he can achieve so much,
But who’s around to tell him this when I am out of touch,
He used to come to youth group and we would have debates
But yesterday on the High street he didn’t recognise my face?
He’s obviously not interested, maybe I shouldn’t bother
But wait he needs a father figure that’s what we can offer;
He needs to come back to the church where he can be inspired,
He’ll change from Luke-warm into hot if he can catch the fire
Then he’ll realise he has a purpose, there’s a plan tailored for him
And the boys that he looks up to will be there to mentor him!
Yeah that’s a good plan but I need to get him here
He likes that girl Sophia maybe she could be a dear?}
“Like I was saying Billie Jean, don’t let him waste his youth,
I know you’re praying daily- introduce him to the truth,
But if he doesn’t listen to you I have another plan,
We can’t let him waste his gifting he could be a great man,
And plus the Lord wants to use him so he’ll get him anyway,
But the damage can be reduced if He gets hold of him today!”
Bille Jean talking:
“Sunshine, what you say is true and we should be concerned
Because in this world we live in far away from God we turned,
And if we are not careful and we don’t correct our offspring,
Then the generation after them will know nothing but sin!
So I make a stand today that I’m gonna make a change,
Put more effort into raising Luke and make sure he behaves.
To anyone who’s reading this and trying to live for Christ,
Remember, you’ve been shown the light so you can help the blind,
Don’t give up on the Lukes you know, and live a holy life,
Because they don’t want to hear your story; they want to see it LIVE!

Fatherless generation!
