Be a Role Model

I'm glad to be an outcast
Glad i'm not like them
I see the violence on tv
everyone seems to have lost a brain stem
Kids are being murdered
by their own parents
Teachers neglecting childrens needs
They ignore their pleas 
No, I'm not saying i am perfect, 
Because nobody is,
But you don't have to his a kid
to get them to do what you want
A child will copy 
A child will mimick
They'll forget that they're unique
forget to be different
NOw, i am not a saint
I have done mean things
But this isn't about me
This is about your child's wellbeing
Children hitting parents
Parents giving in
Foster homes filled up, 
Gangs, crime and more 
No one is safe
Because of you
Make the change for these kids
You don't have to yell 
Don't have to spank
A child will only copy 
the behavor you do 
You are a role model 
For your young one
So Set a good example
