The Shy Fledgling Poem by DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK

The Shy Fledgling
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Outside the nest
Down the subway
Where cross two streets
Lurking in feebleness of light
A blossoming face
Smiling a broken smile
Didn't mind having fledgling wings
Was willing to fly away
And as if from an accretion disk
Of dust and rocks
Moons form (Passers-by)
Swirl around a fledgling planet
Of haggard bones and desperate eyes
Kidnapped by evil perpetrators
And trapped in a web of evil trait
Lies here a child in anguish
Oh before God, it's an abomination
Of human rights it deprives
When will this world open up their eyes
Before another fateful fall on another fledgling
