my brother teaches his son
how to say no
with respect
and how to respect
when others say no
and when he is ready
he will teach him
about affirmations
he will teach him that a nod is
knowing the balance between
turning up your nose at others
and lowering your head in shame
but he will teach him to say yes
only after he understands
the power of rejection
how it can stop
unwelcome treatment
forced upon his being
and how it can be used
against him
