tears of the innocent
Discipline they say,
punishment for stupidity and ignorance
how is it okay to strike them?
They say there is no other way for the young to learn
I beg to differ,
It's called patience and good teaching
Understand that they know not what they do
Therefore, they need guidance and a teacher
not a punisher and soldier
They're children, not idiots, nor are they adults
Cruelty and Bruises only lead to Hatred and Blood
so Please understand that next time you strike them
and know that they may never forgive you
