Little puppies that try to nip at your fingers are cute.
I always hope they are broken from the habit
and instinct as they grow. Most are trained,
but many continue to aggravate.
It becomes part of their nature and
their need to be chained.
People are much like these
once gentle animals.
When growing they are
either neglected or
raised in a good manner.
It helps to have wholesome
guidance when growing but
even the most ardent attention
to details does not guarantee
the results that most parents desire.
Conversely, neglected children often
succeed beyond expectation.
This is not juxtaposition, but
just the way things happen when
we interface with others as we develop.
Divisions begin to take place.
Certain people are desirous and
others are considered outcasts.
The playing field begins to become
un-level and not in the favor of
the downtrodden or unstable.
Those most in need are
neglected and under served.
While the fortunate attend
the better schools and, until recently,
charter schools and vouchers
were still off the table.
When schooling and indoctrination end,
young adults go on to their destiny.
Some will nip at fingers and get
kicked around until they find the wrong path;
others are good little pups and wind up getting
the nicest treats on a regular basis.
As a whole we appear to be indifferent;
lay down and suffer the consequences.
