Poem
Mark taught the kids that it was fun to pick up the cans and roll them along the floor of the supermarket Isle's Sarah screamed at the kids all day the kids long past listening Sarah constantly attacked Mark you're useless were's your brains from girl friend to girl friend Mark went Mark was quick to bad mouth Sarah Sarah was quick to bad mouth Mark The kids grew to have no respect the girls grew to get pregnant young the boys grew up to do time in jail the doctors gave a reason the kids have attention deficit disorder it's not your fault they have an illness Yet when I took my son to the supermarket He was not allowed to run wild he was not allowed to roll cans down the supermarket Isles he was not allowed to demand lollies If he spoke with insults about other people he had better have a good reason if somebody punched him I could understand his anger but running people down without a good reason would have gained a reprimand Behaviour is taught Respect is taught Kids copy what we do if your attitude allows you to steal your child learns to steal yet the child also has a mind sometimes the child will disagree with the behaviour of the adult and learn to do the opposite taught to steal the child will decide and learn to be honest taught to hate the child will learn to laugh life is not black and white you are a big influence on your child but you are not the only one Parents, teachers, friends, strangers and the child themselves all come together in the creation of a life sometimes we copy and sometimes we think for ourselves
