No Hard Knocks

Hard Knocks do not 
Make better people.
Hard Knocks only push up
Dissent and heady persons.

Yes! Knock them 
When they are wrong
But then, not too hard
That they will never forget.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
