My, my, my, Ancient China

Confucius born to a young mama,

Father was proud, and then he died,

Mama was poor, but they survived,

The two of them worked hard all day,

Mostly work and little play,

Confucius didn’t  go out much

He liked to read to stay in touch

His mama died, he was alone,

Confucius began to move, to roam,

Around him there were warring states,

Everywhere was death and hate,

He dreamed of peace, no need to kill,

He made a plan to make it real.

He talked to all, a desperate man,

But no king would use his plan,

He taught his students, taught them well.

But when he died, he thought he failed.

A father must be fair and just,

Teach his kids to be virtuous,

A child should respect his father,

Honor him like no other,

When there’s respect in the family,

There’s respect in the community

You need to respect your leader’s rules,

But your leaders must be honest too,

With respect for every man,

There’ll be peace throughout the land.

Break it down

Stop! It’s honor time!

 

Master Kong, said to be

A peaceful nation and society,

The rich and poor must both be schooled

Then choose the best, so they can rule,

Moral leadership is a must,

For a country that is fair and just,

Being Virtuous is the key,

To achieving social harmony

Break it down,

His ideas ‘bout respect,

Are written in the Analects,

The Qin said he was just a crook,

Buried his disciples, burned his books,

But when the Han took China over.

New ideas were brought foreword,

Confucius’ ideas were finally selected,

And Master Kong is now respected.
