Sitting on a bench I was Admiring the beautiful scenery,
when these kids came across me.
They were tiny, they were sweet,
they wore worn out clothes and torn shoes on their feet..
They asked me to take their picture,and a while later for a ten rupee note.
I questioned them why they asked for money,
Food, they replied in a hurry.
I asked them to sit for a chit chat,
asked them questions about the lion and the rat.
They hesitated at first,but then they talked.
They didn't know the meaning of love,they didn't know the letters of their name.
For all that matter,i really felt shame.
I live in a country such,where the government plays the game.
They left after I handed them the money,
happy were their faces,
But their future lay in darkness.
