Obedience


Okay,

I’ll do it right now.

Don’t worry I’ll have it done…

It's been hours, and all I have been doing is…

sweat all over this labor…  that I do for you,

And I don't hear any type “Thank You” or get any other appreciation but…

Yelling and the repeating of orders, that you told me hours ago!

I’m doing what you told me to do.

Can you not see with your own eyes?

I am getting it done!... I’m done…

You don’t value me or what I do…

 

Then why… why do you continue to follow me?   Then why… why do I continue to follow you?

Why do you still respect and be…                         Why do I still respect and be…

O B E D I E N T…  to me?                                   O B E D I E N T…  to you?
