When in Anger and --##################---DiSaPPointMENT
Straight up
And
FORWARD
We
Are Quick to Shout
And
---------------------------SPEAK


Others
Will
Turn our ##################---DiSaPPointMENT
Anger and Resent
Opposite and AGAINST
Us
Saying
WHY-Are-YOU

Y---E---L---L---I---N---G

At me
As trying to deflect their
Laziness
And
Wrongdoing
And not taking Ownership and Responsibility

Ofl their --################--WISHY--WASHYNESS--and--DISRESPECT

But try
To turn things
UPSIDE
DOWN
Pointing the Finger at US
Because we are UPSET
At their
Weak--CHARACTER
And
wrong doing
And they try
To point out
Why are you ----YELLING
And to make us
Feel
Guilty and

So
EVERY
Parents
THEY
==================K-N-O-W-S


The same old same old
Challenges of raising kids the same
Way--==================-SO's


But the Dynamics of --==========FAMILY


Today in these trying expensive
Times
Today
Is not the same old same old that it was years and decades ago
For the
Baby--Boomers
You and ==============ME


These DAYS
With grown children
They return ===============HOME


As its a Struggle to Live all on there ======OWN


So the Mind Set
Of the older ---Baby-Boomers---==========Generation


Is to work and work and work
Harder and harder--ONE--JOB--TWO--JOBS
Double--SHIFTs---and--MORE--and--M--O--R--E
As this new Generation
With high Technology--Some--
Folks--seem--they--
Just wish to be Happy go Lucky
And %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%Popular
And
%%%%%%%%%%Party-PARTY-Party
And enjoy life
And
HAVE-=========FUN


So it's a CHALLENGE
To---HOLD--a--=======BACK

When some folk
They are
OFF
The
Responsible =======TRACK

But ~~~~~~~~we ~~~~~~~~all ~~~~~~~~WILL
Reach our
END-ZONE
And
Final
==========LIMIT

And with some folk
I am here and NOW
In
