SYMPATHY

SYMPATHY

“Why is it so that they don’t care about us?
Why is it so that they don’t love us?
We are also having a heart,
Just like they have.
We are also having a pain,
More acute and more grave.

Then why do they do like this?
Don’t we have the right of eternal bliss?
Have we done what is a so called crime?
Just Sympathy is our necessity,
Basic and prime!

Ah! What a courageous heart they have got,
To humiliate us and to boycott.”

This is what a disabled child feels,
He begs to you for Sympathy on his kneels!!!

Quite an interesting thought, considering the poet was but a school girl then. When at a time, when the rest of us thought of film stars,sports stars, super cars and other good things of life, she stopped to think about the less fortunate. Moreover, she has also tried her hand in expressing herself, in all innocence that is peculiar only to children. Good beginning,great going, wishing her all the best.
