Parents only want what's best
For them
But they like to say that
It's for their children

It's always for the children

The pressures on to
Be first
Get the best
Be the best

You, they say, are better than that

Friends and petty whims
Can wait
Because Harvard won't
And neither will Yale

Ivy League ticks away

You say you want to suck the marrow
Out of life
And they want you to live
Life to their fullest

Why be Puck when you can be Doctor?

They went to school, too, and
Learnt what you learn
It works
Look at them

Polite Society looks good on everyone


Little thing I wrote for english a while ago. I was cleaning out files, figured I may as well post it. Some custructive critism would be greatly appreciated and all that.

Oh yeah, and the plot/ideas aren't mine either.
