Where do you come from
That you think it’s okay
To cut in front of people
Already waiting in line?
Where do you come from
That you think it’s okay
To take some else’s food
Instead of bringing your own?
Where do you come from
That you think it’s okay
To just drop your litter
Wherever you want?
Where do you come from
That you think it’s okay
To leave your kids unsupervised
Or allow them to misbehave?
Where do you come from
That you think it’s okay
To resort to violence first
Over rational discussion?
Where do you come from
That you think it’s okay
To raise a hand in anger
Before you listen to others?
this reminded me of summer people in Sullivan County NY!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Eric!
ReplyDeleteA land called "Selfish."
ReplyDeleteA world where manners have all but been forgotten these days of 'I want what I want and I want it, now' kids growing up without being told 'No'.
ReplyDeleteWell said!
I come from de nowhere
ReplyDeleteAnd I go to de no place
(I remember that from a Popeye cartoon.)
I kinda think it comes from the parents! So many parents no longer parent. They seem unable to scold or discipline or lay down rules and moral codes. It's crazy how little regard for one another is passed down from parent to child. Heck...the children don't even have regard for the parents!
ReplyDeleteIt's the "me first" generation of not so nice people.
ReplyDeletewhat the others said...from the land of me, me, me...
