if you want your children to shine
less home work, less english
more quality, more brilliance
try love, do you understand this
they don't need PhD's
if their only 3
who wants a Masters
if your hands are plastered
deep inside, they know the game
they watch you play, they feel the stain
out of the box
you tell them think
they throw them back in
just follow, don't blink
don't question
don't muse
just accept
just choose
to be part of a system
that lies to them
and you perpetuate the lie
and you cry to them
go be a doctor
a lawyer
be rich
don't be an artist
nor jest
nor bitch
just play your position
stuck in that book
composed with logic
no essence, un-shook
un-felt, un-heard
no sky, no bird
you clip their wings
so their hearts turn turd
good Reggie in the background
how absurd
if I had a seed
she'd be cool, no nerd
no fool, no louse
just butterfly, all crouched
deep behind a tiger
with fire to spare
I'd have a mixed baby
with LiGer type hair
the best of me
the best of my wife
she'd speak her true heart
and live a full life
she'd have all the freedom
and make the powerful choice
to live wet in the ocean
or landlocked, yet moist
it takes a little time
you'll see, do your thang
the parenting game
is less grammar more slang
Very cute poem Reginald and a very good message. I enjoyed it. Sincerely, Mary
