Wee Are Born Innocents. Then... When we are born We are innocents, Our brains are completely clean. With no sense of superiority or inferiority, No prejudices, No hatred in our hearts. Then we start absorbing Ideas about life From our parents, Our family, our school, our classmates, Our community, society. Parents love us But, as human beings, They do not know everything, Their knowledge is limited, They have prejudices and also false values Their idea of right and wrong Are not always right or wrong. We are brain washed, We are spoiled and thought to be bad, With other and with ourselves, We learn that Having is more important than being, Being rich is more important than being happy, Women body should be similar to standards of beauty models, Men have to be soldier, go to wars and kill, To make wars and not peace, To hate human beings from other Countries, other religions or philosophies of life. We are taught To be the best in everything instead of have an enjoyable life, To eat junk food instead of health food, To be intolerant, egoistic, competitive instead of collaborative. When we are born We are innocents.

Wee Are Born The Innocents Born. Then... Wee is a real word meaning tiny which is very suitable in this poem.


When we are born
We are innocents,
Our brains are completely clean.
With no sense of superiority or inferiority,
No prejudices,
No hatred in our hearts.

Then we start absorbing
Ideas about life
From our parents,
Our family, our school, our classmates,
Our community, society.

Parents love us
But, as human beings,
They do not know everything,
Their knowledge is limited,
They have prejudices and also false values
Their ideas of right and wrong
Are not always right or wrong.

We are brain washed,
We are spoiled and thoughts turned vile, to be bad,
With others and with ourselves,


We learn that
Having is more important than being,
Being rich Having wealth 1 is more important than being happy, 1. Because of the previous line!
Women's body should be similar conform to standards of beauty models,
Men have to be soldiers, go marching to wars and kill,
To make wars and not peace,
To hate human beings others different from ourselves. rom other Countries, other religions or philosophies of life.

We are taught
To be the best in everything instead of have an enjoyable having a life to enjoy,
To eat junk food instead of healthy food,
To be intolerant, egoistic and competitive instead of cooperation collaborative.

When we are born
We are innocents.

Good!
