Thank you, sir

Thank you, prime Minister Sir
for doing needful here
we, the children,
we are really over burdened

why are we stuffed with load?
why have we to carry books to read?
these heavy books are for higher standards
why are we subjected to prepare and look forward?

one little girl writes from Kashmir Valley
from morning till afternoon on line study
our mind gets tired
we feel burdened and bored

many students joined later
their voice concerned was the same here
The prime minister took an immediate step
and the whole machinery was pressed into service non-stop

experts say' it is essential'
it is mandatory to build a knowledge base for little kids
because of Corona, we neglected the education
now it is needed to address the question

the children have remained confined
their freedom to play with others is curtailed
their mental status is heavily overburdened
and some steps are needed to lessen
