Many would have said
that I was a difficult child
and with age
I've only got worse
their assessment
and I must admit
mine as well
Even as a kid
I needed to know....WHY!?!
I didn't even then
accept something as
right, ethical or true
until I could through
study, experience, or observation, agreed
Obviously I spent many
hours in the:
woodshed
detainsion
the principles office
but also in thought
study and reflection
From those who had been
placed in authority
I accepted what came
learning from it
but never from those
who just thought that
they had authority over me
Obviously I was a
difficult child
and haven't changed much
after over 70 years on earth
well at least in some peoples "learn'ed opinions"
and you know they're right
but that's their problem never...mine
