Serpent of Corruption

Worthy of love, unbreakable togetherness, and lasting compassion would have been instilled strongly in the vessel of thirsting heart and unstable mind of a child. But, why soup of hatred, a platter of pale love and a bowl of spoiled unloving thoughts are laid in the niche of the child’s sprouting character? Family ties were untied by a father who neglected his pure actions and encouraging words and translated into unspoken greediness and unnoticed carelessness of expressed thoughts that form the growing character of his son. The family bonding is disbanded by a mother who works in the scope of her comfort where eyes and mouth are only the weapons of her love and care for her curious daughter and for her wandering son. A father who offers a well of gold and silver, a mother who clothes sparkling dress of worldly wealth to her offspring! Their children have worn ever the brightest smile but not for a while, The pleasures of their tongue were satisfied but not their hearts. Corruption begins at home. It creeps to the nerves of the heart of your son. It envelops the innocent soul of your daughter. For every dishonest word that is pronounced by the indifferent father, For every unchecked actions that mother has imposed, Are a sure lifetime shaper to the values and character of the children. Family brings serpents of corruption in every corner of the home. It blows very hard like a destructive wind of the storm. It is like a starving lion that preys on the flesh of good virtues and leaves nothing but dead soul! Father, Mother, May I appeal to your deepest conscience and understanding! May you be vigilant and be watchful of your actions and your ways of life! Your most beloved children are at stake in the breaking and making of their character!
