Mother's naughty kid

Verbally old but still so young,
obscene terms loosely on his tongue,
He doesn't differentiate age in his victims,
Everyone fits for his insults and calling of names,
Where us the earth heading to?
A kid at five is old enough to verbally abuse an adult,
Untouchable they are, their mothers keeps watching,
Touch the kid and face the wrath of an angry mother,
Instead of showing the way to her child,
She encourages his naughtiness in the society...
If the world now under 'survival for the fittest'
Then why let the child choose the wrong way,
as the only way?

Of course, what goes around comes around and if the kid will grow old his parents will be there to witness what they brought up. A child like that should be trained to respect people from all walks of life but to this child, he is not there.... respect is a word that he just can't find in his verbal vocabulary. The world is watching!

That is unthinkable for me. A very very strict disciplinarian lives here.
Am sure such parents get the worst of their life when the kids have grown and their old age peace is shattered by the abuses....

They say 'train the child when young so that he won't fall away from what is right' but here the child is left to learn from what he sees, what he can hear and on anything that crosses his way.... and oops! The mother laughs at it when her son is 'taking care of himself'... the way she takes it. Anyway, consequences comes at later stage.

It is the job of the parents to teach the child what they can and can not do.

We are encountering that with children in school. My daughter wants to know why this child can do this or that and she cannot. I tell her that the other child will not have a good time as she gets older, because that sort of behavior will get her in a lot of trouble. I say that her parents are not doing their job, because we are supposed to try to raise our children to be good people, to prepare them for life and to try to help make their lives as good as possible. These types of parents are setting their children up for failure and disappointment, and it is a sad thing.

I agree you must catch the naughtiness when young and not leave it because as they grow, it will then be a habit.
Very good poem Waflay
