Biased Double Standard


Children Put in their room Put in their place Children Toys taken away To learn their place To be rude Child Egocentrism Child Tantrums Child Irrational arguments Child How come When he does these things You ignore You laugh You joke You just say no No discipline Nothing learned How come When I did these things You take You exiled You punish You never just said no Always disciplined Always learned Why don't you see IT DOESN'T WORK Why don't you see That there is bias That there is double-standard Within what you do Maybe you're tired Maybe you're done Maybe he's the favorite Maybe I'm loathed All I know All I can see Is it is not working Now do your job And do it right
