Domestic Dissent
Domestic Dissent
Ashamed of their child’s becoming,
Who doesn’t deserve their divine respect
Give up on this self-righteousness already!
Why can’t you be like the other kids?!
We, are your parents!
Your “Constitutional rights” don’t apply!
Only my opinion deserves respect,
Only my opinion matters!
Choose a career for money,
That’s your new life goal
We, decided it was best for you
You cant care! You’re just a kid!
You shouldn’t be worrying about these things,
You don’t need to.
No, you’re the children,
You’re the ignorance,
You’re the censors,
Socialistic through administrative interest
Communistic through uniformity in naivety
You know,
I’ve met adults that pledged they would never become their parents,
They didn’t fulfill their vow.
“That’s the most horrible,
Terrifying thing,
When you realize you are just like your parents.”
I’ll follow through,
All you continuers of humanity out there,
Support your kin,
That’s all they want,
Support
Through,
Love
Understanding
Acceptance
&
A positive influence
