This sounds like a law of nature, unfortunately. Poems like these should be out there in front of as many eyes as possible.

I know people who never bothered to discipline their children when they were young and now that they have grown older, complain that they cannot control them.

This is true for we must have boundaries in order for all to enjoy life.

Correct: boundaries - yes. But borders - never. Viva la Mexico! ~ Kamala Harris: "What border?!"

Sad but true Gershon. There are also kids who who are forced to leave their homes because of physical and mental abuse. What a world we live in eh?

Come to think of it, there are even parents who are forced out of their homes because of their kids obnoxiousness - and guess who is still paying the mortgage. 1984, here we are. War is Peace

Pangie's right... Seems as if the good kids get caught in the crossfire more than the rotten ones do. Horrible truth, at least in Chicago... Hasn't changed a bit since you left, P. Probably even worse in some ways...

John…go Chicagos infamous west side, you are too sharp a guy to know even kids doing homework in a good home get bullets in the head, I’ve taught in their schools, these kids are sweet but many get lost. They have no respect for anyone. It’s sad and pathetic to the max, Pangie xxxx

You hit the nail on the head, again GW. Once they run wild, they are hard to tame.

GW, such fond thoughts run rampant upon reading your fun-filled lines! Were you perhaps a 'Dennis-the menace'? Happy Tuesday!!

I was a 'Dentist-the-Menace,' actually. I once remember running out of the office with his instruments in my mouth... OK. I never did that. I can dream, can't I? Thanks, Mike ~ Mr. Wilson
