WANT THE CHILD TO GROW ???

In a room lighted by flickering gas lights,

with heavy junked chains fastened round the heart,

prohibiting every single movement of the crying soul

towards the small hole in the stuffed room

from which enters the ray of hope,

you say the child can grow ?

Feeding the creature that does not dare to speak

with unwonted knowledge 

from subjects of your own interest,

you don't stop a moment

and keep stuffing her mouth until she pukes.

Do you think it helps the child grow ?

With an ever pondering mind

filled with doubts,guilt and remorse,

an aching heart that simply wants to stop beating right now,

A screeching soul that is starving from years,

does your intelligent and experienced brain still says

all this pain is kind of supplement for the child's growth ?

The world is wise and you are so.

You'll say who am I to teach you things,

so I better make a 'request'.

let the child move out of that stuffed room

into the thick woods where she can dare to sing her heart.

Let her move on the land of her desire

where she can breathe the air that actually makes her feel alive.

Let her drink from whatever source that quenches her thirst.

Let her dream.

Let her talk.

Let her be human.

Let her "LIVE" atleast for a single day,

and you see how fast the child grows !
