The Child Holds Paper-Boat Poem by Pranab K Chakraborty

a child once
making a paper-boat
shouted loud
I'll dip it inside water
none will take chance
to cross the river

child also shouted loud
I'll give no one any opportunity
to cross the continent

(off the record
reader should know a fact
his father once crossing Mediterranean Sea
went to join his service
but never he came back)

finding a bucket full of water
the boy at last
dipped his paper-boat there
and laughed so loud
and jumped so high
never I experienced before
the joy of any child that age

whenever any terrorist attack
Or any counter-terrorism by any state
killing people brutally
any part of the globe
always my memory
reminds me that child and paper-boat strategy!
