The eyes speak volumes
They are tiny little ones sparkling
with sadness and a feel.
The blue eyes, see the blue skies above
and the green landscape around
with people moving in a busy thorough fare,
seeking a morsel of bread
as the child with such lovely eyes.
had gone without food for the past day
Not wanting to beg
but is forced to seek alms
the child hesitantly puts her arms forward
then pulls it back
The pride still lurks
and still irks
placing the child in a dilemma
in a post far from approval.
The hunger is so killing
making her suffer
The child being orphaned at young age
keeps loitering in the streets
uncared for years together
unfed for days together.
Helpless people move forward
giving her what they could.
The girl if taken care
would turn out to be an asset
as one could see a potential
and a greatness in her
If left wandering in the streets
the girl would not only lose
but the community also would
feel guilty as a partcipant in the deprive.
