Like a good mother
She has taken me in
And taught me well,
Given me the strength
To speak my mind
And set me free.
Like a good child
I respect and admire her.
I have learned all her lessons
And practiced them faithfully.
So it breaks my heart
When I see you disrespect her;
Ill-using her words
Disregarding her rules
To where she is
Unrecognizable…
A shame to behold.
