How Can I Tell Them?

How peaceful their lives are!

Just eat, sleep, and play.

Nobody says anything.

Nobody judges them.

How can I tell them

That their lives will be controlled,

That they will be pressured to excel in

Studies, sports, life, and everything?

How can I tell them

That this is their golden era,

When nobody tells them how to live

And nobody teaches them how to enjoy life?

Just free and peaceful.

How can I tell them

That their parents will be the ones

Who destroy their peace,

Who make them depressed?

I don't know

How to tell them

That the ones who are making them happy now

May one day destroy their inner happiness.
