Moral value, is like a dying art
Old trees cut off, carrots and sticks
Some say, the good old days with a "grin"
This is where I earn my keep
Show some respect
Like shoes off before entrance please
Charity roots
Marked like DNA
From the homes they came from
And the good do not chant
Death on their enemies, the "naked" truth
That is the line drawn btw'n them and us
Politicians are exempted
Or so they think "proxy gods"
To wash their hands in public
In Ga the saying goes
Is there no adult, in your household
You should know better
Both hands up, one leg up
For disciplinary actions
That was the standard prescribed
If only I can take you back
To school, teaching basics
Crush course on actions
Like the seat
To be given, offered
To the oldest and the like and so on
Courtesy for boys and girls
Is a book to be read
I am to be known as old fashion
In with the joy of value
Enrichment in moral value
I would have my own to keep
For now show some respect,
Hold back your "jumble" acts
This is where I earn my keep
My bread line in moral value
This is where I tell you off
With a dying art (act) for bad behaviour
Indeed, morals are a dying "art".

ReplyDeleteI enjoy this piece a lot, your poetry is very good and your blog is great! I liked the stanza that starts "charity roots..." I don't know why just thought it was interestingly worded and all. Great stuff.
