What do you think this poem is about?

A woman's advice

A woman's advice
leads to unhappy result
Old conservative saying goes.
A woman is a mother
And a mother knows better
The welfare of her child
An eternal and evergreen saying goes.

    So, a women offer advice while this other source, conservative in nature, offers advise? More mothers and children have been killed in ALL theaters, or in THE theatre, of war (60% of all casualties) since WW2. All the way up the US's, which includes me, remote Auschwitzes known as unmanned drones (just following orders machines) . But what advice would mothers offer me? What do I do?

    funny how we children most of the times don't give a damn to care about our mothers' wise words when in fact they are right and good for us. sad and we take them for granted but this is what we call YOUTH. right on. great one.
