That’s right! It’s every man for himself. At least, most of the time, there are a few occasions when people step up. Those moments are like small miracles. Loved your Haiku! Happy Friday and a great weekend! 😀 xo

Self-discipline is the best form of discipline and if it is emphasized at impressionable stages of life, we could prevent the chaos we have been facing. Say that to a teenager!!
Nice haiku Deb. Thanks for highlighting the issue. Stay blessed!

I don’t know Balroop, but I think it’s the teens now who will be the voices of the future. 🙂
