Obscure
A child lying at the corner
crying at his fate.
A face that reminds me
of the lost happiness.
Just tired of existing ruthless,
it has many things to tell
and yet, much more to hide.
The innocence is lost amidst the burden
upon the little shoulders.
His pain needs to be seen
His cries should have been heard,
but who can pause for this little one
and give a moment of comfort?
His sighs vanish in the air,
being left out - leaves him nowhere.
His dreams twinkle in his eyes
but soon, they get eroded with tears!
A will to survive,
pave way for his beliefs
the need is courage, not sympathy
for he hopes to succeed!

nice one…
i gave him a penny and he bought a cigarette
i gave him food - he fought over the bread
i gave him clothes - “its not enough”, he said
i gave him boots but he cut and bled
so i showed him the place
where he could lie down and shed
some tears of pain
time and again
i gave him attitude and his fear has fled
i gave him hope and he hopes to be someone else…
