Child Fails In God's Quiz! ! ! Poem by Raj Kashyap

The first rays of light,
As their alarm,
Challenging them for
A survival fight.

Wake up hungry,
Their throat all dried up,
No tears left to drink.

Look at those wide eyes,
Staring blankly at,
The beautiful blue sky,
Dustbin as bestie,
Traffic, a daily zesty! ! !

Scruffy hair, dirty teeth,
Misfortune, as leech
Red feet, giving tough time,
Balloons, only lifeline.

Open sky as home,
Society taps as shower,
Money as frenemy,
Puberty, An enemy! ! !

Half naked soul,
Searching for a heaven,
Begging isn't a biz,
A child failed in God's quiz.

Rich on healthy diet,
Poor crying quiet,
Empty pockets scream,
School, A Dream! ! !

Disease, leading death,
HIV, malaria as the quests,
Poverty raising stress,
Drugs, the ultimate bless.

Look at those flies,
Gathering on face & eyes,
Life doesn't seem fair,
Helping hands, very rare.

Langars giving full fun,
Malnutrition pointing the gun,
Opportunity giving chime,
Poverty, uncommitted crime.

P - People passing
O - Over coming
O- Opportunities
R - Repeatedly

Please, let them grow,
Definitely, they will shine,
Let them fly high,
& touch that blue sky.
