My hands tied, the times bind. Rules, regulations I can abide. Changing rules to suit their needs, Lack of standards, morals. What’s good for one is only that, No longer good for all. The world is rushed, No time to think, just get it done If the task at hand, is understood, Then this means is well and good. When time must be spent to teach Nurture and mold, teach calmly, properly. Guide our trainees to a path of success. Not lead them and let them pull us Down a road of destruction. With our rushed and hurried ways, We indicate lack of concern and care. Letting them turn our words against us. Allowing from one but not another, They recall it all, reminding us of what we did. So we bow our head in shame and concede. The error is taken in stride now, no matter by who. Soon there is nothing we can do. Amongst ourselves we bicker and quarrel. With one showing a lack of concern Overstepping the rest, “over ruling” the nest. Never hesitating to say, “you must see it my way, Unless it is I who does the deciding Then of course I must be right.” With discouraged words we all will hurt, Soon there will be no smiles, No strive, no desire, but tension and tears will soon appear. Apparent to all Diminishing Moral. With this I leave you to decide. Constructive Criticism and discipline can save your hide. But if it’s destructive it will ruin the ride. Soon others will go and you’ll be alone to choose, Are you right now, when you have no one to rule?
