Rude

a poem by Jayati

The Child
Suave smart adult world
The Child!
Rich parents expensive toys,
Video-games suspense thrillers;
Poor parents no choice;
Offsprings work, a pittance,
Square meals, servants, house-maids;
Noisy sound adult world
The Child!
Lost voice intelligent kids;
Hurt egos generation gap;
Man woman parallel run
Swap
Jobs, economic compulsion;
Houseman trendy Sir name,
Gender justice feminine,
Prosperous society,
urban!
Poverty eradication?
Speedy busy adult world
The Child,
A lazy choice;
One point two million
Young recluse of Japan
“Schlüßel kinder” in German
Shoplifters in London
Vagabonds, Mumbai
Scavengers, Shanghai
Drug peddlers in Colombian
Gangsters, New York, Washington
Suicide bombers of Palestine
Sexual abused of the Philippines;
Mute, masked adult world,
Spin web, of ignorance;
Neglect;
Weeping innocence,
The Child!
