(original quote)

conformity to rules is a mean thing

it reduces the options to venture out

it likely narrows parameters of whims

very much losing its expected clout

open-ended flight of fancy a fringe benefit

already ingrained in many youngsters

expected with doses of medicine to bid

for the love of a caring parent that bothers

perceived as visible of a simple practice

one is often led astray to wrongly regulate

to form good habits but at times sadly missed

by not setting a pattern for them to emulate

such are specimens of good upbringing

on a generation engrossed in the current rave

of the social media and gamers existing

unwittingly not given enough space

in reality conclusions lacked the advantage

by elders not given to technological advancement

who are being deprived of the privilege

relied just on common sense of life's experience
