Would it have been easier
growing up in a country
where parents depriving
their children of
love and kindness could
face ten years behind bars?

Would you have tried harder
to learn and understand
the needs of those
not yet protected by
armours and walls?

Would you have
not recorded a child in
distress and later
not replayed said recording
to the child causing even
more distress?

Would you perhaps have
considered positive feedback
and praise of the attempts
made to perform and to
please?

Would you have recognised
that they spending days and
nights in their rooms
might not aid their
developments of social
skills?

Would you have been bit more relaxed and let them get on growing up
doing whatever they
wanted to do?

Would you have coped
bringing up your children in
a country where you faced
ten years behind bars as
you deprive them of
love and kindness?

Probably not.
