Don't Teach Your Children

Don't teach your children to judge and hate Don't seal their future and their fate, And don't teach them to spread rumors and gossip Don't let them take that awful sip. Don't teach your children to murder or to kill Don't teach them that they shouldn't help or heal, And don't teach them to ever mock others In the eyes of God, we are all sisters and brothers. Don't teach your children they are better than anyone Because, of the clothes they wear and the crowns they put on, And don't teach them to ridicule others because they don't have a job Doesn't mean that those people will kill and rape and rob. Don't teach your children to hate people different than them Don't teach them that their life is pathetic and grim, And never, ever teach them to put a dollar first Don't have your children believe that wealth will give them joy on earth. Don't teach your children to become political And don't teach them to be left or right or being critical, Don't teach your children to be a racist or a bigot Inside their soul don't let that belief inhibit. Don't teach your children to be just like you Never teach them lies, but teach them what is true, If you want to teach them anything on their journey or on their way Then teach your children, unto God to always pray.
