Who teaches?


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 a 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
