INFATUATED IMBECILE

INFATUATED IMBECILE

1 min
142

Infatuated, imbecile simpleton childhood

Studying Science, History, Geography, Religion

Arithmetic, Politics, Economics

Shapeless, shapely, effectless and effective

Bowing before idol when told so

Bowing without idol when told so

Neither discussion nor repercussion

Neither ism nor aspersion

Treasuring eachother's life as own life

Neither ego nor prejudiced

Infatuated, imbecile, simpleton childhood

Knowing no boundaries

Holding eachother's hand when fallen

Playing doctor-doctor whenever hurt

One China other Japan

One Hindustan other Pakistan

One Iraq other Iran

One Burma other Afganistan

Whether Buddhism or sultanate Islam

No enmity for anyone

No mention of any tension

Nothing confidential no prehension

Striving to count each strand eyelashes

Turning inside out of delicate eyelid

Counting each strand on dark thick head

Comparing those with shining stars

On dark clear nights

Simpering in eachother's Kleig eye's Kleig lights

Extravagantly growing up in Royal regime

Infatuated imbecile, simpleton childhood

Wounds make many a youth lose childhood!
