incident at target..... grrrrrr

The kids are upstairs. They are supposed to be playing in thier own rooms for 30 minutes due to an "incident" at Target. I am wondering... when exactly is the age that your children listen the first time, or at least the first 5 times you ask them to do somehting..or NOT do something.
Short little post today, but believe me... it has relieved stress and has kept me from losing it ... LOL

H

prides last stand....

bars
teeth
holding in
ammunition
carelessly aimed
and fired
aimlessly
reckless abandon
no care
or thought
for
anyone
other than
you
I
me
anyone other than
anyone
else
no accountability
none to bear
on shoulders
broadly spread
and chest
puffed
out
like a cat
about to pounce
The bird in cage
careless
are the mouths
that drip
poison
into innocent ears
and hearts
wells full of
pride
have drown
many a man
and woman

Revolution...

Is there need
for an apology?
for an explanation
of notes sung
or words spoken?
Is there a blank page
that is only filled
when the crowd says the ink
has spelled out what THEY believe
no!
REVOLUTION
rise up
be YOU
be who YOUR CREATOR
made you to be
not a carbon copy
of what some other carbon copy
tells you to be
REVOLUTION
hold your ground
do not give up one step
the ground beneath your feet
the rock on which you stand
is firmer than any accolade from those who
feel they own your thoughts
REVOLUTION
fire your gun
set ablaze your path
and BE love BE hope BE Jesus
and make
no
none
absolutely not one
apology.


REVOLUTION
