A perspective

Who teaches children to grow as
 rapists
murderers
Cynic liars
Not family  ?
Not society?
Not any system?

But dont kids become constructs
 of indifference
after they turn 7 or 8
With the indirect training
The insult and fights in the houses
With the abusive language
they gradually receive the signals in minds
Of the disrespect for others
Of the casual attitude that is deemed funky
By the time they become teens
Watching a porn or passing a vulgar comment is a common scene
 they are bound to encounter
Perhaps parents are busy in earning and creating a comfortable life for their children
The time when the teenagers are on the surge
Nobody bothers to talk to them

And then they dont bother
They dont give a damn

With the lovers or the beloveds
See the changing scenario
For some
Alcohol is now new sign of being modern
Getting physical at a small acquaintance
is now an argument for liberty

People are shouting for justice
But who are nourishing rapists or murderers ?
Who teaches a small child of 9
to misbehave and remain a naive
with the abuses,
the obscene jokes,
the bond with some 'grown up adults'
The silences between parents and kids
Lack of sex education
Increasing interest towards obscene, irresponsible and vulgar media

Where are we heading?
Posing everything normal
Whom should we talk?
Who wants to hear?
My friends advise

You talk of love
Separation
Nation
But please don't talk of such disease of mind
It will be cured by some grace of God
O yes, by the teachings of some gurus
May be by a specialised medication
By government s policy
By joining a social group

Yes,
Its simple
by closing our eyes
