Practice What You Preach
We teach our children the rights and wrongs
The correct way to behave and be
Manners, morals, fairness
Kindness and honesty
Be respectful to all of life’s creatures
Do not hurt or mistreat
No verbal, emotional, physical abuse
From violence you retreat
Lately, l feel disillusioned
With the behaviour l have seen
Of “supposed” adults
Words and actions obscene
Hurtful words, inappropriate conduct
Disrespect, disregard, ugly displays
I wonder what our children would think
Watching how their “teachers” honestly behave!
