A SHORT SHORT POEM

Our Values 

By Odimegwu Onwumere

Editor's forward: This is a very short poem...It is straight forward & easy to understand...A nostalgic for moral values which, according to the author, is being corrupted through TV.....

I grew up
when elders
told us stories
every night
that protected
our core values
unlike today children learn stories 

per minute

on the TV

that corrupt                                                   

their moral values
