Attitude Change Cost Nothing Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

The attitude, of most in our country today,
Is near the top of reasons, for all the changes,
In the lifestyle, of people today.

In the beginning, people, were known by their name,
Respected, treated as A person in every way,
We advanced from that, now we are A passcode,
And A pets first name.

Since money became the, rating scale of, who,
What, we are, many mothers work, leaving children
With hired strangers, who don't have A family of their own,
So, they can have, A fancier house, car, and cell phone.

Children use to be raised, taught by parents,
Things like manners, and respect, what words, and what to
say, People on the street, violence, almost everything on tv,
Are their main teachers today.

From mom always at home cooking three meals, A day,
Dad working, coming home, doing chores, till mom said,
Dinner is ready, everyone sat at the table, no phones or tv's
On, remember the words, grace, or will you please pass that,
May I be excused, attitude has changed society.
