Which Parent? Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

Which parent would have told?
Chop off their children’s hand,
For stealing others wealth,
With so much evil in the heart,

Which parent would have advised? ,
Stone their children in the public,
Or cut off their human head,
With so much evil in the heart,

Which parent would have been so selfish?
Two different sets of rules and blessings,
Two different codes for the same offense,
With so much evil in the heart,

Which parent would have wanted,
That their children should be sad,
During prayers, hiding all their happiness,
With so much evil in the heart..
