It is normal to want to control
As opposed to being controlled by
Teachers, bosses, and parents
We like our freedom and if
Responsible why should we be
Subject to other determinations
Of what is good for us when we
Already know and many times
The need to follow other orders
Leaves us in the position of
Missing out on what may have been
A great opportunity. Respect for
Other wishes are necessary at times
Especially when you are needed
To liberate the controller to do
Something important that would
Not happen if we were not there
So many orders and rules are
Man-made and in the big picture
Not very important so they are
Bulked by many who think for
Themselves. Punishment may
Come because of this independence
And if we are not holding aces
There is nothing we can do
When situations are important
The story changes, but then again
Who is to decide what is important
It is best to be humble in times of
Crisis and go with the flow just
To contribute to the aspects of
Peace and sanctity, in the end
This is what we all want and
Sometimes it takes sacrifice to
Achieve it. We may have to violate
Our own principles, but it would
Be worth it. We would expect
The same of others in similar
Situations.
