Poem: Signs Of Immature "Adults" - What It Means To Be Immature

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Seven behavioral signs of immature "adults", 
Who act like naughty kids, aren't conscious of their words,
Like young bullies who laugh when others fail or get hurt, 
They're grown-ups yet they don't behave like proper adults:
~•~
One: They lack self-control. They speak all that comes to mind. 
They loudly rant, whine, and diss anyone they dislike, 
Backbite online and offline, proud of not being nice.
~•~
Two: They're passive-aggressive, can't handle conflict well. 
When mad at you, they slam doors in dramatic turmoil, 
Mimic your voice, ignore your text messages or calls, 
And give the silent treatment yet giggle when you fall.
~•~
Three: Like spoiled children who can't share their toys, they're selfish.
Though they're rich or can drive, they won't provide rides unless 
They like you or assisting you brings them some profit. 
Adjectives that don't suit them: "helpful", "kind", "generous".
~•~
Four: They feel entitled without justification, 
Demand people to treat them like they're so important, 
Expect freebies and gifts as if they are deserving 
Of your love. You give, they take. You share, they keep taking.
~•~
Five: Like little boys who show off with "look at our bikes"
Or small girls who brag saying "we have more dolls and kites", 
They post status updates and photos not to inspire 
But to flaunt linguistic skills or luxurious lifestyles.
~•~
Six: They can't take responsibility for their wrongs. 
When you're no longer friends, they'll complain, "It's all your fault!", 
When they've made a mistake, they'll blame, "You're the one who's wrong!" 
And when you try to fix things, they'll wail, "Get lost! Be gone!"
~•~
Seven: They're awful listeners, like kids who ramble
And enjoy lecturing the most at dining tables. 
Too busy to hear them? They'll feel oh so terrible.
Then when it's your turn to talk, they're unavailable.
~•~
Mature adults or those who don't want to seem shameful 
Aim to improve themselves, make efforts to help people, 
Attempt to understand others, know they're fallible, 
And for Allah's sake they strive to maintain good morals.
