Like Begets Like Poem by Dr John Celes

Like how your upbringing has been,
So will you treat others in life;
Only a prince knows who a princess is,
And weds someone in that cadre.

Not all are trained to do all jobs;
Not all can get the chance like some;
Born are some with silver-spooned mouth;
Do not covet your neighbor's goods!

The beggar knows pavements, slums;
The monarch, aristocracy;
The farmer knows the soil’s value;
The law-enforcer, his baton.
