Do As I Say, Not As I Did

I sit in my square box of grey walls, the iron bars Zebra ,melancholy shadows across the concrete floor I am not a teacher or lecturer ; You don’t have to listen to me I just want to tell what to do ; before my house is your house Respect your Parents, your Elders, your Superiors, Yourself and GOD Be Honest and Loyal, reach in the recesses of your mind, the Memories Of your youth, your upbringing, your manners being molded by your parents There is no one greater than you, there is no one less, Open your Heart Let Truth and Love emanate it rays to those around you to those YOU LOVE Do not deceive “ LOVE”, as I have done : Always be fair , Listen to the Ages Hone Your Morals, now or come join me on my ice cold steel bed If the past Were given back to me I would follow my Parents’ Principles “I wouldn’t be Here Assignment : Morals Inspired by "A Rambling POET'S" Contest -- " In Search of the Human Mind "
