You want to be taken serious <br />But you don’t want to do the work <br />Time to get off your ass <br />And do the promises you start <br /> <br />Wanting responsibility <br />Means you can be relied on <br />And not following through <br />Means you’ve played us a con <br /> <br />Good intentions get you so far <br />It works for only for a while <br />When you string us along <br />Your word will mean nothing at all <br /> <br />Be respectful of your family <br />And not lie to their face <br />Because it just may come back <br />Like a slap across the face <br /> <br />So don’t be surprised <br />When the consequences are weighed <br />They might come from your pocket <br />Or our promises made <br /> <br />So come clean with the lies <br />We can work it all out <br />But don’t bite the hand that feeds you <br />You don’t want to go without<br /><br />Pookey's Poems<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/responsibility-2/
