Poetry Exercise

Hi all,
today I am working on a poetry exercise for uni. The style of poetry we're looking at today is list poetry, so I've put together a little something in the last hour or so, and I hope you enjoy:

Thou shall find fault in thyself and others,
or else lose all thy right to criticize.

Thou shall find time to embarrass thy mothers,
or else for your birth, you will apologize.

Thou shall make fun of stupidity, and bigotry,
or in disregard, empower such hates.

Thou shall ignore thy master's teaching rigidity,
unless thou wishes to resent his taught traits.

Thou shall welcome thy parents, and children,
to them, time thou shall always allot.

Though shall always remember, time 'n' again,
forbid naught, thou shall not say, "thou shall not".

Tim Hunter
