The Rod or GodA Godly Discipline I sit thinking how the conditions have been, Wondering what happened to the discipline; Kids today are out of control as it seems, Acting carefree with no goals or dreams; There just seems to be a lack of respect, Anything in authority they want to reject; Parents more permissive and are too lax, Teachers tend to be turning their backs; Not accusing each one on this occasion, It just seems like an entire generation; You can tell me if you think I am wrong, But many of them seem more headstrong; Now I do not think that I was in the dark, As a teen never making any snide remark; I respected and listened to mom and dad, Never really got into trouble or been bad; Something is missing now more than ever, A relationship with God that they sever; If we don't want to discipline with the rod, At least we need to push them back to God.
