[ To “LEAD” boys into MAN-HOODS ]…
The Motto: On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
The Boy Scouts of America have been around for some time. They’ve , ( They had.), been one of the foundational institutions that were counted on to mold the youthful minds, and bodies of male youth as the progress of the civilization here in America, and around the WORLD, ‘needed the well rounding experiences to THINK and RESPOND to “any” situation presented them.
How, then, has the “leadership” come to the rationalization that they COULD DECIDE WHAT “NATURE” made “DANGEROUS” to the youth the “leaders” were in charge of !?! WHO TAUGHT these “men” the the EXAGGERATED importance(s) that would bring their decision to DESTROY TWENTY M-M-M-M-MILLION YEARS of ARCHITECTURAL “WHITTLING”. MATHEMATICAL CALCULITIC ARTISTRY. CHEMICAL “BETTY CROCKER(ING)” of EXTREME EXCELLENCE ! And, lastly , THE APPRECIATORY REVERENCES of WITNESSING the WORK of ‘ONE’ that DID ALL the WORK… WITHOUT ANYONE SEEING IT DONE.
The “men” that were chosen have brought the organization DEEPER to its “knees” than any other ‘problem’ encountered before. HOW can these THREE justify their act, or ACTIONS ? If they own businesses those should PAY for the VANDALISM and RE-TEACHING of their troops, ( Which IS PROFOUND ENOUGH to warrant such training until the age of THIRTY.), against the thought that “an adult has the FREEDOM, ( “FREEDOM= being ABLE to do “something” AS ONE DESIREs / WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES of said action, decision,), to do WHAT THEY DECIDE… WITHOUT CONSULTING A CONSCIENCE, or AUTHORITY . This IS the (GROWING) problem of SOCIETY, as we’re experiencing TODAY.
(AGAIN, a poem.)
you took the chance
and played at GOD
in front of children
who gave the nod
if at YOUR house
a vandal struck
why to the “pokey”
you’d have them stuck
the tender minds
that you have spoiled
won’t learn too much
’bout plan and TOILS
your explanation
smooth as silk
can’t save your crime
seems of your ilk
the multi-plied
of misguidings
no wonders why
a “MOTHER’S” CRYING
