Changing a Result
How green is your grass
a life that's going to last
at home we learn to read and write
not to stay up late at night
we learn to clean
and respect others, how to look after ourselves and our brothers
how to take jobs and later careers
so that we'll retire down the years
we learn to relate in public places enjoying
the tangible rewards,
learning how not be bored
so we're
faithful with our development
and after we train and
transition with obedience`
we learn that sustaining as an adult is
our wish
so when you notice that your not doing the things
that helps you to spread your wings
its not because you couldn't
its because you were green.
