The Alphabet
The Alphabet
The girls in torn rags
Gaze at the white frocks
The boys in bare chest
With swollen hands
Gaze at the schoolboys
In tears.
The fairies and dwarfs
Snowhites and goldilocks
In colorful books
Are dreams for poor children
The blackboard
Weeps; yearns for all children
The poor children
Misses the lovely alphabet .....
