So easy to Mate - then that leads to hate! |
A rhyme but not a very nice one!
As I have already written, the person whose "voice" was completely unheard in the drama was that of the single mother and we know nothing about her circumstances. Supposition: she had 3 children who were older and one younger child with new partner -perhaps she was a widow? In any case it makes no difference. Single parents are not to blame for the woes of the world. Could be an idea for a spin off drama though - the telling of that family's story and seeing how what happened to the boy after his arrest affected them all.
As to your rhyme, it is a perfectly natural drive which leads people to procreate -that is what we are here for in essence. I think possibly the hate you mention in many cases is down to disillusionment with what many young people see their future prospects to be and also, unfortunately, prejudices which are perpetuated by ignorance.
