Child Labour

With resplendent eyes

An innocent face with hopeful smile,      

I have many colorful dreams,

Making me beam,

Enjoying joyous moments, with my parents,

But unfortunately, betrayed by destiny,

In this cruel world,

From my mothers arms as I unfurled,

My tiny hands soft & tender,

Have become coarse with bruises all over,

As an innocent child, I wanted to fly kites,

But I am impelled to do chores,

Education is my fundamental right, I realized

From which I was deprived,

Like others I too wanted to study,

 But toiling around my attire turned muddy,

As a cute little boy, I never could play with a toy,

Instead of being cuddled, By People I am rebuked,

I see my friends relishing ice-creams,

With teary eyes, and shattered dreams,

Gazing at the sky, I cry cursing

My destiny, has left me famishing,

How unfortunate it is,

The innocence of childhood is a bliss,

I have lost the those moments of innocence,,

To strive in this world for my existence .
