child labor
 
  childhood crushed
in stone-crushers

ornate tender palms
of cutting glass

stone studded bangles
dipped in the child’s blood

blunted innocent fingers
draping the world in silks

several buds of life
blown off in fire-works

naive brawls
at the dump yards

learn while you earn
this whole world is
the highest seat of learning
established especially for you

there’s no admission fee…
