SCIENCE OF COMPLIANCE
Marked from birth to possibly follow another's ideals ,but even before an utterance is understood someone has to foot the bill
The first baby blankets all look alike,pink or blue which one is for you
First big brunt of hoochie coos ,giggling & wiggling on command ,then a.b.c-1,2,3, hearing Mommy or daddy enough to make a child ill
Color or number at all hours unless we slumber ,at least standing and walking are natural and offer a better view
More lessons from the bath,take each cue it is for you,brush the teeth or hair as we were guided, not on your own free will
Then the dressing, lacing those shoes ,belts tight, collars up, buttons done nothing is left askew
Constant barrage of new sounds or words always another to be found ,separating to,too or two will help define your skill
When to stand walk or talk is for now subject to another's command ,applying another's knowledge as we grew
All manner of manners are lessons, from setting a table or our hair,they feed us more & more although we feel we've had our fill
Simple stride we did abide, but starting to see outward, fracturing the glass, freedom is nice but lessons will be few
Family's resign to mark their sign ,schools further forge their rules or political expectations thrown at us like swill
Rules seen as jewels, new guide in which to confide,abiding is safe, same as their teachings of faith ,so rest easy and have another bowl of follow the rule stew.R.C.

Maybe not as deep as originally intended,but it seems now matter how smart some think they are or independent we to large degree end up being nothing more than what was originally thrown at us or "taught" to us, so which is the larger lesson for the teachers or those they have taught? :) Thanks for reading. I appreciate comments. Rick
