Youth and Elder Temperament

Young man you don't listen, you don't listen Stop your fishing, you're not fishing just fidgeting Mind your matters it does matter if you want to live long obey your parents Old man stops your nagging I'm not standing for what you say I do not believe yet I will be receiving all the money and material things Yeah! old man that will be coming my way yeah? And I ain't believing that I'll be receiving a punishment from the maker Young man you'll be receiving that of what you're dishing out You'll be given all that you've been giving that of your choice I am just a relic I am just upset by the major decisions your tone in your voice Keep you in mind that you can't control time and that I am who you wanna be So as long as you live remember your peers won't keep you only God will Mind your manners it does matter if you wanna live long in this life You have to believe in less in receiving your need to believe in Christ And when you are done in this life with your free will and choice You represent No, minded manners disobedient to laws, rules God's commandments You'll sit and be REMINDED OF THOSE SIMPLE YOUTH AND ELDER TEMPERAMENTS 08/18/15 written by James Edward Lee Sr.
