False choice.

Mohan Pillai

When children wander mothers suffer
But children often leave mothers to suffer
One time suffering was hope but backfired
From misfortune to calamity towards the end
Mothers wander for the minimum favours
As the sons and daughters search the luxuries.
The generation gap build the cruel freedoms
Boasting tradition, culture and family values
