Why Did You Let Me Grow Poem by Abhineet Sharma

Pure was my heart,
Innocent was the smile,
I was away from reality,
When I was a CHILD....

Oh! God tell me why,
Why did you let me grow,
To understand the realities,
To understand all the woes...

Why there's violence,
Why do people fight,
Despite of so-called ‘LITERACY',
Why there's no Light...

Longing for happiness,
They do not compromise,
So, come the sorrows,
& They cry their life....

For their greeds,
Others they hurt,
& Carry on their lives,
With their minds full of dirt....

I was happy, when a child,
Coz I did not think why,
And, whenever I cried,
There were tears in my eyes...

Every gesture has a reason,
And every smile a pain,
But still have to laugh,
For some Goddamn gains....

Fed up from this routine,
I want those days back,
Where is all the purity?
I suffer its lack....

No friend I have,
All are like Foe,
Oh! God Tell me Why?
Why Did You Let Me Grow?
