Introduced To Chores Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If you had been,
Once the one laughed at.
When as a child,
You were introduced to chores.
While other children,
Who too had parents.
Were sent outside to play all day.
As their discipline had gone ignored.

Now with years and decades to pass,
These same 'kids'...
To have become adult 'children'.
Seem to do nothing else but accuse,
Others to blame.
For doing not enough,
While they sit around complaining...
On their lazy softened butts.
Mentally corrupted.

As those who grew up to mature,
Find themselves enduring through...
What to them has been proven true.
That fools are made by fools to stay.
And not born that way,
To pass judgement.
Belittle to demean.
With a doing to disrespect.
Then to expect empathy to get,
For being unable...
To know what accountability means.
Or taking responsibility,
Done to do without accusing anyone.
Only to find that to do,
Is both laughable and beyond belief!
