Children?

© 2005

Children, please stop fighting,
it's not nice, to always be arguing.

Children, please don't yell,
be polite, don't let your heads swell.

Children, it's not nice to hate,
you have to, give and take.

Children, don't lie or steal,
to be human, is to be real.

Children, we have to be grown up,
we have to be mature, and not corrupt.

Children, don't act childish,
over things that are meaningless.

Children, don't fight over that ball,
it's nothing real at all.
___________
Children want simple things,
since they don't know, what virtuous means.

But when adults, act like children,
then the world becomes, a burden.
