The Insomniac Shallow Eyes, Keen
Enough To Dribble Out The Lawmen,
Moving Hands In Customary Fashion,
Before & After Every Portly Pockets.
Puny Arms Were Scorned With Pride,
By The Mucky Nostrils & Grimy Faces.
Unhealed Cuts Seized Some Sympathy.
The Dusty Golden Hairs & The Tattered
Attires Were Not Trendy Enough, To
Convince, The Hunger Learned Bellies,
But Crisis Of Self-hood, Invited Molesters,
To Please Their Senses Or To Gift, World
With Another Filthy Basket Of Bastards.
Holding The Fortunes Of A Sweaty Day,
The Smiles Waded Into The Darkness,
As If Their Lives Were Stitched In Black!

Thank You Richa...I am happy that the creation has been acknowledged and appreciated but further was happy to realize that it can be interpreted through different angles. Actually when I wrote this, I had the poor children in my mind, begging on the railway platforms, hiding themselves from the cops, and their molestation rather gets unknown...but when I read the same through your angle...it seemed applicable...wow...nice imagination...an apt one too.

So beautifully sums up the life of the street kids.
