The Good Ones

Good parents say SHIT!-Because they don’t put up with any.

They steal- canned goods, heads of lettuce, and hearts. They hide pain, and make meals heavily seasoned with love, so their children won’t know the taste of suffering.

Some smoke, some drink, finding their way through vices and prayers.

Some watch porn, discuss sex, and disgust their children with conversations. They show anger and affection. And teach how to balance being firm and gentle.

Good parents forgive, because they know family heals.

Good parents say FUCK! because they know what it takes. They raise love through mistakes. When dis-respected, they allow you to choose peace or violence.

Good parents are felons too. They know an excuse is a seduction for losers and fools. They try to provide heaven on earth but mis-calculate their own worth.
