A New Shirt! Poem by Dheeraj

A New Shirt!

Rating: 5.0


There was a young kid
Used to wear yellowish shirt
Good in studies, yet scared
For his shirt was old and dirt.

He had really no idea
Why he was on target,
Done homework but couldn't
Buy a new shirt from market.

It was actually not his fault
But the child had no answer
When his father is going to give
A new shirt, new book and new colour.

Who do you think responsible then
The school, the teacher, the parents or the kid? ?
Is money everything? ? ?
He asked himself alone in the mid.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem is dedicated to one of my childhood friends.
Sometimes few questions hurt on a very personal level. Read the inner vibrations of the kid who was always asked to buy materialistic things in order to meet the standard of school's status.
This poem is not against any person but written in the favour of the kid who had really no idea for the things he used to get embarrassed.
