Irresponsible Parents Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Difficult it will be,
For the ones to fix a problem...
They have created.
And insist,
Having no knowledge...
About it being started.
Like irresponsible parents,
Claiming it is the schools and teachers...
Not them,
Where their children learn...
How to be disrespectful.
Incapable to listen.
Unprepared and can not follow rules.
Read, write or spell.
Or know the meaning of discipline.
Yet expect their children,
They defend and make excuses for them...
To go to Harvard or Yale.
Princeton, Morgan State, Spellman,
Howard, M.I.T.
And...
On a completely paid four year scholarship.
While smelling of alcohol, weed, and ignorance!
