Lies there the rule
a discipline to follow
never to make a fool
one in depth not hollow.
The ethics behind the faith
be one of religion or person
calls for a rigour straight
else could lead to a treason.
Any riot or rebellion
includes a mishap or a feud
could demand an admonition
a punishment for being rude
So saying of the perception large
holds a lot of merit to issues small
the admonition could be not forged
however be the gravity in all.
Spare the rod and spoil the child in terms
goes the much thought of adage
could prove to be right or wrong in forms
as there might be a few or more to charge.
Admonition is never to be equated with punishment
being a variant in degrees and magnitudes
it is a precursor to any attainment
a scold or a correction being a milder form in attitude.
The mother admonishes her child when it turns naughty
so does the society restricts one who goes astray
found in politics, business anything lofty
equally so in theft and anti social activities in the fray.
The forerunner to the much severe references
admonition lends a cue to optimize
an opportunity to reform with an inference
a medication bitter administered to tranquil
ise.
