Good or Evil? Right or Wrong?

What can we truly teach the youth of tomorrow when the leadership of our world is on shaky ground? It's still the same old story, monkey see and monkey do!


Poem Artwork

Our core values and morals have certainly gone array

Folks that pratice good over evil have seemed to have gone away

Yes, we have plenty of laws to follow on the books

But the youth today follow by example and they take a second look

They can see our core values and morals have certainly gone astray

When we pratice the motto, "don't do as I do but do as I say."

Amen

Hello John,
Truer words have not been spoken. It is time for us grownups to start "walking the walk again",and you have reminded us so beautifully.
Continued success

Well "said," John. The "adult" generation/s ought to lead by example. Hopefully, the youth will do better. Love and blessings to you, my friend.

Yes, people are watching us, especially young people, to see if we truly practice what we preach. Thanks for the reminder. And that monkey illustration was perfect and gave me a laugh!

How so sadly true. What a bleak world we have created.

We said, John. Any fisherman will tell you...when you throw free food into the waters, it's call Chum.....when you hide a hook in the chum...it's called Bait! and when someone takes the bait...they end up in the frying pan.

Society of today is a very... diverse place.
But....Since all "humans beings" having been
created in God's image...there always will be
plenty of good people around...and every good that
we do in life makes the world a better place.
I try to remember the words by Edmund Burke: "All that
is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men
do nothing".
Thank you John Michael.

Regardless of how government and churches try to establish moral behavior, morality begins at home.

Parents set the first example for their children's morality. Kids will do and say what their parents do and say. It is how well these lessons are learned in the very early years that determines how they will respond to peer pressure in middle school. I'm very fortunate because in my family, the youth are very well behaved, even though we do have a couple of black sheep in the past.

No, we can't legislate morality and shouldn't even try.

Seems the people we have placed in office to lead us are giving the worst example. Can you imagine our President preaching to the choir at PP. Suffer little children to come unto me. These are the words of Christ.
