Without Parental Filters Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Little ones, innocent, beautiful, taking in the world as it is,
without a filter to help them recognize right from wrong.

Depending wholly on their parents to watch out and protect them
from evils of this world.

Do they? Are parents living morally, ethically, spiritually
and are they teaching their children?

What paths are parents teaching them to take? How can little
ones begin life if their mom and dad are living and caring
about nothing and never doing the right thing?
