a for apathy

b for backstab, c for conform, d for disregard, e for euthanasia be damned we're going to kill our kids. distort them, mindfuck them, make sure their mistakes come later and they're straddled with ours first.

we pretend to care, pretend to worry, pretend to give a damn when all we're really care about is that our darling offspring have IQs more than Einstein x 2, that they score more than the neighbour's kid in math, that they outrun their best friends, that their marks rise in inverse proportion to Rakhi Sawant's cleavage. and we expose them to gross apathy, we let them observe us for what we really are - giant lumps of dogshit when we demean people who we've wronged instead of setting an example by admitting our mistakes, when we lie through our teeth to save our asses, when we backstab innocent people to justify our salaries and pay our credit card bills, when we leave our kids with holes in their heart by being completely blind to them and their needs because we're so busy filling the holes in our souls with generous dollops of insecurity, when we use people and walk all over them to get a more crowded visiting card and a more spacious office, when we do not allow our kids to discover themselves and learn of their flaws but instead we gladly and knowingly burden them with our shortcomings and make those a healthy part of their persona even before they can spell persona.

fuck swine flu, fuck aids, fuck the depleting ozone layer, fuck the bomb, fuck chlorofluorocarbons and fuck natural disasters. the biggest threat to the human race is the human race. we're nurturing hatred, apathy and mediocrity in our children with alarming willingness and then we wonder why they want to move out the second they learn to walk and don't often visit or call once they've put at least a continent between them and us. we raise them like they were accidents, don't attend pta meetings or school concerts, never care about their career and future and then tell people that they're ungrateful wretches just because they married someone for love instead of the idiot of our choice. and we hold candlelight vigils and send chain letters damning everyone and their uncles, but use the voting holiday to take off to a hotel in the hills, telling our kids that 4 days of leisure and comfort is more important than suffering 5 years of inaction and frustration.

how the fuck can the future be better when all we're doing is re-creating the past? lets not make the same mistakes our parents made. lets not treat our kids as guinea pigs for our own sick perverse pleasure. if we don't know how to raise kids, lets not fucking have them.
