“Teach a child in the way he should go”

We your children are not your children.

We are the sons and daughters from heaven.
We come through you but not from you,
And though we are with you yet we belong not to you.

You can have hand to nurture but never decide for the future
You may give us your love but not our thoughts,
You may house our bodies but not our souls,
Thus, teach us the way we should go.

You may initiate the stages of our growth

But can never show us the wholeness of our worth
You may strive to be like us your children,
But seek not to make us like you, for life goes not backward,
Then teach us where we should go.

Our welfare will improve if fewer of us are involve

If you think, what to do to make this solved
Then I guess it’s the perfect time for you to make a move
Then, “Family planning’ should be improved.

Consider the future world we are creating,

Procreation today is just like renting
So why won’t you stop thinking,
Instead, start planning!

Choose to refrain from procreating

For it demonstrates a profound way of living
Thus, we your children are not your children
Then, teach us the way we should go.
