Let's Cut Cake! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

Let's Cut Cake!



With full of tears.
No one's near.
No birthday song to be heard.
No wishes on way.
No candles to be lit.
As darkness prevails everywhere.
Bloodsheds everywhere,
Poverty spreads darkness everywhere.
No money in pocket.
Struggling for a single day meal.
Today is your birthday.
Let's cut cake.

But, where is the cake! ! !

Poverty spreads darkness everywhere. No money in pocket. Struggling for a single day meal. Today is your birthday. Let's cut cake. But, where is the cake! ! ! ... a heartfelt picture has been painted. Really it is painful to cut birthday cake where there is severe poverty. Beautiful poem.

Poverty is a state of misery. A person who cannot afford, a meal a day, cannot think of a cake at all. Where is the cake? A relevant question posed here! A very thoughtful poem, Geetha!
