Best Behavior Poems

I learned to spy on adult behavior
as a child, totally out of control. 
For when sent to bed for misbehavior
I would secretly peek through the keyhole.

My parent's world included make-believe
pretending telling white lies didn’t count. 
And I would watch them socially deceive
knowing they wouldn’t be...

morning cbc
alert to all consumers
your program's been writ

wall street controls andt
the object is behavior
it is to be changed

without one's knowledge
through psychological names
on consumer goods

to millenials
you are right for the fodder
that feeds the machine

you get what you buy
technology addiction
it's all in the name

and you've got sore...

I was on one continent and she another.
Both of us were always writing letters to each other.
I felt that we were headed in a romantic direction,
so I booked a flight destined for her location.
She was so lovely and ever so charming,
and as we walked arm...

HIV has been around for a while,
	you have unprotected sex like it’s going out of style.
	Eventually you are going to get stuck,
	you’ll play Russian Roulette and run out of luck!
	To utilize a condom is simple and easy,
	She said, “When you use those things you just...

Today's problems can't be fixed by legislative law.
It is our moral behavior that is our flaw.
For being a racist, you can't be arrested.
Even though it is their freedom, that is molested.

If you cheat in a relationship, you will not be fined.
Yet, you disgrace the race...

When you walk out the door.
I wonder if you love me anymore?
My mind says stay.
Checked your pockets,a hotel receipt falls.
Fist to the walls.
My mind says stay.
Question you for all you've done.
Answer me now for there is none.
My mind says stay.
Truth be told,your heart remains cold.

Tell me something that I don’t know
We breathe the same air,
We shed similar tears
Cause we lived under the same sun
 Man, Woman and child
Somehow, you haven’t got the message yet
With all your wealth
Your buffalo soldiers
Why hold the world hostage
^
You can skip death
Even if you lock...

To behave - to conduct- demean or acquit
To act , conduct one's self in a proper manner

Deportment ? your conduct! Is it with honesty?
Gods way of morality! Conducting being capable of managing
Managing your personal behavior -...

as adults we must be accountable for our own behavior
if we expect the same from our children.
when children see political leaders in compromising positions, 
adults fighting in court rooms, PTA meetings and city council sessions
and fathers and mothers verbally and physically abusing each other.

how can...

Ah, the con a tried and true dastardly, debased, 
debacle to test the metal of man.
A contextual contrib to the categorization
for rat-ICK-al political fans.
Simply put, the contest is not for the faint of heart.
Testing the spine of the spineless
demi-gods of media-o-craSS-y against each other
often produces...

A man ask a coworker for a dollar so he gave it to him

The next day he ask him for his daughter as a bride

And robbed him of his Pride

Later left the child for fatherless and hide the car behind

A hide way under a bridge

After...

Stock market pervert
Ended up loosing our shirt
In a world of hurt.

Am incompetent
Tell me what you may have meant
How much money spent

May be in big hurt
All of us have lost our shirt
Missed out on growth spirit.

Declare an edict
What will I have to predict
Which...

If your behavior is a reflection
     of what others say you are,
          you’ll behave as they like

We buy gifts for everyone,
For friends, family, daughters, and son's,
Some gifts expensive, others so cheap,
Remembering you sow what you reap,
Everyone on our list gets that special something,
A tie, a comb, cuff-links, or a ring,
Yet there's one person we forget all about,
You don't give HIM a...

I just wanted to hear the fire alarm
In their run for the door
Someone fell on the floor
My behavior was below the school’s norm...
