Between The Cars

A girl of my brother's age

He just learned Pythagoras theorem 

She just learned life. 

Harassed, between the cars, juggling and struggling for life.

 

It is the red light that she loves

And it is found

Between cars, during red light she earns

Selling balloons of her size. 

 

When the light goes green

She too moves under a shade

Shade was that of a eucalyptus tree, uneven

Nature too, can be uneven?

 

Here her brother half her age awaits 

And she waits for the light to go red 

I too wanted so as to cross the road

Only this time, mine and her desire were the same.

 

Little one was playing with one balloon that was left 

Which will be sold to the kid in the car

Light went red, it was her time,

She walked to get that balloon but was stuck by a smile.

 

She saw him playing with that balloon

His smile was as wide as that kid in car

She also wanted to buy him a toy 

But this isn't she can afford.

 

If she doesn't sell it, all of her earning of the day will be lost

Then how will she feed that smile?

So she decided to get it back but he didn't 

Snatching became a game and she wanted the defeat. 

 

But the little one gave off

I don't know why 

Probably that half age learned the life half that she has 

Harassed, between the cars, juggling and struggling for life.
