The Reckless Child
By Harry Glenn Cumby
The reckless child we let
Drive the car
Went much too fast and
Much too far
Will we ever get back
In the road?
Will we ever pay the
Debts we owe?
Will life ever be like it
Was before?
Before Junior started his
Oil-man war?
Our Nation’s Youth in
Arabia bleed
In the Name of God, what
Was the need?
