How Are We Going To Protect Our Youth?
Under the banyan tree are seen lots of kids.
Colorful and cheerful are these blossoming buds.
Some collegians are engaged in tomfoolery.
One is engaged in a mischief with gooseberry.
This is the sacred home of academics.
Tragically, it is also a breeding ground for addicts.
Bad company pushes education to back bench.
Poor child fails to feel the most needed hunch.
Where good sense fails, vices begin to flourish.
Children are caught in a vicious mesh.
Rapes and murders begin to be a daily affair.
Such happenings are going beyond control or repair.
Family and values have lost their meaning.
Young make their own rules to live their inning.
How are we going to protect our youth?
This is the concern on every mouth.
This century is advancing in science and technology.
In a greater pace is developing criminology.
Will this research abate crime is the question.
"No" is the answer given in unity and unison.
Something is wrong somewhere is certain.
But the solution is nowhere in vision.
Modern civilization is on a rampage.
Its wild behavior is hurting the younger age.
Twenty-first century is behaving very unruly.
Its painting of young and youth is grim and ugly.
Easy money is gathering lots of dirt and filth.
It isn’t sparing child of any faith.
Unguarded youth is a susceptible age.
It is life’s most sensitive and weakest page.
How are we going to protect our youth?
This is the concern on every mouth.
