An Unsuitable Gift Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Who can say no to the calls of nature?
Neither me, nor you, nor your child,
nor anyone else.
When you gift a modern cell phone or a tablet,
with internet facilities,
to a teen aged child,
be aware that your school going child,
will be taught how to unblock
the blocked unsuitable sites.
The child is never wrong,
in fact elders are always wrong
in expecting
that the child will watch only the suitable videos.
Think before selecting a gift
for a teen aged child.
The gift may be an unsuitable gift.
Keep it in your mind,
the balance of mental and physical ages
is changing rapidly.
Your mental age is more than that of your father,
and that of grandchild is more than that of both the elders.
