Children need a focus in their lives, to help avoid their
minds being led astray;
Something that will occupy their time, and help ensure
temptation’s kept at bay;
Activities to fill the many hours, both after school and
during holidays,
Something to look forward to each day, and maybe sometimes
set their hearts ablaze;
Showing there’s a life where gangs and crime are not
essential to provide a role,
Showing there are other things to do, and other paths and
views they can extol.
Of course it would be costly to set up, but if results were
looked at over time,
It might be money that would be well spent, if it produced a
lowering of crime,
Together with young people filled with hope, and skills to take
along to adult life,
Instead of languishing in sink estates, where drugs and
crime are currently so rife.
