Some children are raised,
while some children rise.
Some children are praised,
while some children become the prize.

Some children are amusing,
some children are rousing.
Some children face abusing,
some children have no housing.

Some children live in squalor,
some children live in palaces.
Some children like to holler,
some children will face malices.

Some children get perception,
some children get hocus-pocus.
Some children need direction,
some children grow with focus.

Some children are raised with manners,
some children call you dude.
Some children are raised with banners,
some children grow up rude.

All children will come to show,
whe lessons they will bestow.
Lessons learned as they grow,
are the seeds they have to sow.
