Yes, many children in this world are victims of an accidental life, were poverty and abuse was rained upon them, despite their innocence, such a terrible shame, it's a lifetime of suffering for them, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

True. I work with elementary school age kids Monday through Friday and I can appreciate this poem. I see that everyone has a story and this is why kids may act the way they do

I thought this was a thought provoking poem I think there is a lot of truth to that! There is some responsibility to remember your parents. Very creative and you say a lot with just three lines.

I am not a real poet, but I think this is a great senryu. The statement was great. However, I keep counting one too many syllables in that second line. I could be wrong, but you may want to double-check it. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

    Thank you, Jessizero. I change a word and tried to keep a hold of the sense of it.

Yes, what you state is true. I suspect there are studies that show a link between children's upbringing and their parents' involvement in their lives.

Nicely summarized by your senryu. However, the poem seems to suggest that it is the recalling of the "great parents " rather than actions of their great parents.

    I fixed that line because it was too short. Thanks.
