Freeloading
Experience is not the best of teachers
The sharpest blades
The finest men and women
Have all been tempered with care
As have the tools and sleights of working class
Responsibility is the best of teachers
And the harshest disciplinarian
If ignored.
In all occupations and walks of life.
Freedom is a well learned reward
That lives with it
Class so easily seen in
The responsible is
Nobility
I love my freedom and am grateful to those who fought that I may have it
I am more thankful to they who taught me responsibility is tied to it
