I reconciled,and then I realized my plight...
Today, I taught my child to fight.
When interrupted by the phone,I said, "tell them I'm not home."
And then I thought, and had to sigh...
Today I taught my child to lie.
I told the tax man what I made,forgetting cash that was paid,
And than I blushed at this sad feat...
Today I taught my child to cheat.
I smugly bought a pirated CD,
But now the bells of shame must peal...
Today I taught my child to steal.
Today I cursed another race,Oh God, protect what I debase,
for now, I fear it is too late...
Today I taught my child to hate.
What are we teaching our Kids?
Are we a perfect example for our children?

wen i was in school
ReplyDeletei was taught to always fight against any kind of crime
never to lie
and so on
but I can't say tat I never lied coz i did and the same teachers also do
so if the ppl who teach us do such things then were r the ideals...
It is indeed so difficult to tell your kids about virtues and follow the exact thing !
ReplyDeleteAnd when that doesnt happen the poor things are left confused as what is really right n what is really wrong.
Sorry scenario.
we can try...
ReplyDeleteand that may all it take
Guess we can not get rid of these things ...

notable point... so which one are you?
ReplyDelete@anusha
ReplyDeletei am the former when i do not think and teh latter when i use the cells

ReplyDeleteIt's easy to preach....
ReplyDeleteaha..there's an Aussie ad where it shows a dad asking his 10yr old son to bring him a beer from the fridge...and it becomes a habit every other day or so. And at the end of the ad it says
ReplyDelete'dont tempt kids into alcohol'
cos it can develop a liking for alcochol early in childhood...cos their dad is doing it and they may think there's no reason why they shouldn't.
We must watch our habits when we r in front of kids.
Keshi.
