Often To Wish



I can not be the only one,
Often to wish...
A being inappropriate,
Would do it to fix...
Telling someone,
Showing their disrespect...
To know better than to do it.
And overcome by this done,
Telling that someone...
GIVE UP THAT STUFF.
COME KISS 'MY' OLD BUTT.
AND DONT BE ASHAMED,
IF YOU BECOME ADDICTED TO IT!

To then have visions of ending conflicts.
As old folks are being arrested.
For disturbing the peace.
Yet having the police, teachers...
And leaders of all communities.
To begin to use that as their weapons.
Instead of pretending,
People running around...
Creating division and havoc.
Are in need of understanding.
And not mental therapy.
With it done to observe and see,
How their activities effect those elderly.
To become old and crazed themselves.

Today?
Many young people don't realize,
What they do to others...
Will follow them,
For the rest of their lives.
To permanently regret being disrespectful!

And besides...
A bared wrinkled butt,
Exposed publicly and told to kiss?
Should stick in one's mind.
To remember,
Is better to be and stay respectful.
Then to age,
With a want to wish to have one's butt kissed!
