What happened to parenting?

Sodom must have never been fully burnt,
Otherwise where did sodomy originate from?
Who is teaching the omen to our kids?
How does a minor sodomize?

We used to be forced to bed,
When the programmes with adult content were aired,
There was thorough beating for betrayal,
Parents used to be so available for parenting...

When phones users were limited,
When no internet access was so accessible,
And materials were so censored,
When grandparents, uncles and aunts had roles,
Roles of advisory not limited to bridal price negotiations,
And parental roles made sense...

I miss the parents who used to help teachers by seen us do homework,
And ensured we went to Sunday schools,
They were fierce disciplinarians,
And scored excellently in scaring us,
We were made to work hard,
In the kitchen, field and every perspective,
They could listen to children and mentorship made sense.

But in this age of house girls,
Who train kids on every aspect,
In this age of caretakers, daycare,
In this age when material gain overlaps maternal and paternal roles,
In this age where instead of listening to our kid s we give them cash,
We allow them freedom to explore the world with no supervision.....

Then we shout that the society is rotten,
Then we want intervention,
Then we want help,
And blame the media,
Blame the government for laxity...


Last time I checked ,
The family is the foundation of society....
