A Better Tomorrow

Human have become at heart very cold,
Money is the only goal, they proclaim.
Feelings for others, they no longer hold,
All paths to earn, acceptable they claim.

If our children, we all properly train,
Then only humanity can be saved.
Teach them to help, when others are in pain,
Then a beautiful future will be paved.

Teach them before accepting, to use brains,
Teach about almighty and his power.
Break the shackles of tradition, that chains,
Then only evils of world will lower.

Do make sure you too practice what you preach,
Then only they will follow what you teach.

Interesting comments! The last two lines are very traditional, and meaningful. Your eight lines (5 - 12) describe actions that I desire to inspire in all my children and all children I come into contact with! But, contrary to 'Then only they', my desire would be for all the children whose lives I touch will follow what they learn through my teaching. Therefore, to bring on that better future.
