Except From You



               "ALL APOLOGIES "
            (Well,except for you..)
No one is allowed to say cruel words.
No one is allowed to be disrespectful .
No one is allowed to demand the truth.
No one is allowed to  raise their voice.
Well, except for you...

Temper tantrums are unexcceptible.
Violence is unexcceptible
Destruction of property is unexcceptible.
Absurd accusations completely unacceptable.
Well,except for you...

Everyone is accountable for their actions.
Everyone is subject to punishment.
Everyone will pay for their betrayal.
Everyone will be open and honest.
Well ,except for you...

Promises had  better be kept.
Important  events should not be forgotten.
Don't be greedy and selfish .
Appreciation is expected for help given.
Well,except for you...

Do not be a hypocrite
Do not try to excuse any bad behavior.
Blaming others for your mistakes is wrong.
Apologize  when confronted about dishonesty.
Well, except for you...
 
Trust,respect,appreciation,loyalty ,sympathy and complements are expected from everyone.

WELL OF COURSE, EXCEPT FROM YOU...
