The Child Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

The child
Sunday,27th June 2021

The child
he has innocency of a special kind
totally blind to the reality
he is considered as a child of an almighty

all children have the same sense
they bear no grudge and speak no nonsense
they never feel tense
but get hurt when you force

they look at natural objects
and question about the fact
we have no answer to their questions
and scold them with harsh comments

they talk about rabbit
about moon and sunlight
for them, stars are ancestors
and after death, they have gone there

their broken speech fascinate
and relate to the miracle world
the stories are told in a different manner
they flow with the spirit here

make them feel comfortable
and answer them reasonably
as they are confused with our replies
they will build an opinion with anomalies
