Children Follow Their Role Models Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

We often hear in conversations how children are today, parents and teachers tell them to act in A different way,
they learn from examples, not from the words people say.

Telling them to be good, kind to others, and share every day, that morals, respect, and values, will advance them in future days,
then all they see in this society, is greedy, selfish people, and the many games that are played.

We all like to be noticed, we feel good in our mind, from the news and stories told,
the most popular are those who commit crimes, when children want to be popular, they imitate those they hear about all of the time.

We live in A negative world, it's been accepted and most live their life that way,
no one seems to care as it gets worse every day, children just follow their role models' actions, and the words they say.
