AS YET UNBORN

Parents obligingly feed me

Teachers dutifully mould me

Between the two they slowly kill me

None of them remembers me

Not one has seen the problems facing me

No one knows the struggle that both put me through

To parents I'm a museum piece

And teachers treat me like a laboratory mice

Both so distant from me

Who cannot yet speak

Please learn the language of today and lock the past away

Lets get together and understand others too

So that strenght and weaknesses will make no difference

Then lets speak the language of today

AA 24 March 1977

Somtimes people assume they know what is good for others without thinking how it might affect them. We should encourage people to forge their own identity. One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes.
Thank you for the like.

Expectations are one thing that sometimes hurts you in ways you can't express.
Every one expect you to behave in a particular manner without giving a thought about how u might fell about it.

"To parents I'm a museum piece
And teachers treat me like a laboratory mice", this verse truly struck a chord. At times even well meaning individuals can put you through pain without realizing the gravity of their actions.
Even if we can't read between the lines, we should indeed strive to learn the language of today and lock the past away.
Well expressed!
