Crusader....the friend
Crusader....the friend


Have you ever seen a bird
Not wanting to be free?
It may be in a cage or perch upon
the foliage of a tree.
The kid at my home too
Wants freedom of a bird
I chide her as an authority
And declare her demand absurd.
I declined her proposal
To which , she threw
her hands up in the air .
I got angry,
So did she,
And left the room in despair.
She labels me outdated
And mocks at my ignorance.
When I disregard her choice of things ,
And dresses of her preference.
We are at loggerheads usually
For dfference of opinions.
Seldom we agree,
I wouldn't like what she does
She wouldn't become
What I want her to be.
>I know some kids feel lonely
And suffer from emotional issue,
This subject needs a quick solution
And not let it continue.
Some take up to smoking, crime,
Drugs and alcohol,
Some embrace disorders in the process like anorexia, OCD, phobias and all.
Many questions they have
But no replies
So they remain in stress.
Pressure of peers, family,
Society and friends
All puts them in distress.
Finally I have decided
I shan't at all bother,
For my kid and her clan
Henceforth
I shall be a crusader,
A friend and not a mother.
However one tries to cut its wings,
The flight of a bird is destined.
No one can restrict anyone's freedom
A bird can never be confined.
