Teach Your Sons


Teach your son, That a man is one who protects and Shield, And not one, Who exploits others weaker than himself. Teach your sons, That an ever erect manhood, Does not mean sexual prowess, But a grace to shore up self restraint. Teach your sons That illicit sex is not a way of life, But a time bomb waiting to explode, On the bed of consequential retribution. Teach your sons, That rape is a tormetous dance on the devil's bed, No form of rape exalts anyone, Only momentary pleasures on the path of perdition. Teach your sons, That rape is not an acceptable trend, But a senseless act, Of a shameless fiend. Teach him right away, Every rapist is a monster, Whose love for self, Pre- dominates his selfish mind, Let him know clearly, That the rapist Is the real victim, Who simply for a crazy sexual urge, Plunge others into pain and pangs. Let him know assuredly that repercussion awaits, And retribution knocks his door To bring to book that randy manhood.
