Adult Children Poem by Qiniso Mogale

They are grown men and women
They, however, behave like little children
They lack personal responsibility
They suffer from self absorbed irresponsibility
They claim to be victims of imperfect parenting
They blame their irresponsibility to poor parenting
They are adult children.

They claim to be victims of poor parenting
They blame their parents for their wrong choices
They blame their parents for their poor decisions
They refuse to take responsibility for their sins
They shift the blame to their parents
They are adult children.

Adult children raise their own children to be adult children
The cycle of adult children continues unabated
When they die adult children go to hell because they seldom repent
Adult children often die in their sins
Adult children are to be pitied
May God help adult children to finally grow up.
