It takes a village no more
A newborn, beautiful and innocent
A parent so naive, blindly dutiful
The village was always there eager and helpful in raising the child
Remedies and advise passed through the generations
Producing children that understood the values of old
New parent, today immovable in the face of elderly wisdom
Checking the pages of social media, strangers advice they now treasure
The effects on the child is lost values and loose morals
New parents rejecting the ways of old, arrogance and corkiness born from youth
Why look to before when on social media theres advice galore
Forever lost the values of old
Remember, remember it takes a village no more
