don't be like mike....be you


too many kids grew up wanting to be like mike did you know that when kids got rob for his jordans, he said that what does have to do with me too many kids wanting to be like ike did you know he beat up tina turner too many kids grew up wanting to be like rappers did you know that they rent cars and houses oh by the way, alot what they represent is all gimmicks not the kind of people kids want to mimic be you-grow up and look to parents as role models same people that put clothes on your back although sometimes their style of taste is kind of wack be you-look at your grandparents as role models the wisdom they share is priceless like finding gold in a sand those are the same people that will stand up and march like soldiers in a band like sonny in bronx tale, father can't pay rent, go ask mickey mantle and see what he'll say athletes and celebrities go to charities and events because its in their contracts you'll be lucky if you make numerous contacts be you-be the next great athlete don't be like these characters, they'll put on a show worse than a clown so don't let that stupidity bring you down

appreciate your thoughts there are athletes that have given back to their communities and conducted themeselves decently child's parents, relatives, grandparents, etc have more impact and influence to their kid check out my other poems
jwiener
This poem really stresses the importance of individuality. More people need to be made aware of the fact that the only person they should wish to be like is themselves, and I bellieve they can truly learn this from reading this poem.
