the little one

the little one has no sense
why would he be so happy
when others around him continue to suffer
doesn't he know that he will be them once
doesn't he know whence
he will suffer like others

he plays on his mother's lap
believes today's the first and last day
for he knows no tommorow
he lives by the day
sleeps by the night
he sleeps not because his world retired
but because he's dead tired
he lives by the day and
sleeps by the night

The little one also never lets other people sleep in peace! The little one is very often, dangerously intolerant!

:)) Trust me, your stuff is loads better than Ajay Seshadri's or Mr.Subbaraman's!! I didn't know you write poetry...it's a good thing, so don't be embarassed by it!

actually even i did not know.i have lots of things to say dint find a way to put it down on paper.thought proper prose wouldve been really tough with my penchant for going from is to was to have been.
so just shortened some lines and let grammar go on a leave.
anyway thanks.
