Enmity(poem)

              Enmity
This world was created with so much enmity
I can feel the absence of unity
Because of the incompatibility
Of thoughts, ideas and telepathy
Without being in the mood for empathy
It seems cruel looking at the haters
Although it's an unpleasant situation
The distance is not up 2 hundred acres
Cos the foes show a high sense of attraction
Just like the closest next door neighbors
Plotting puzzles of unexpected deception
And when they are winners
They rejoice from their plan's inception
But on the contrary when they are losers
They get caught in an abyss of confusion
Dont give up when they are above soaring
Just keep on persisting and stop groaning
Cos the world is always rotating and turning
So don't turn away your enemy
Whether he commits treason or felony
Just treat him like your crony
Then your horse will gallop faster than his pony
So let's learn to unite to form the best company.

SchoolingToday in our country, only 40 per cent of the total children go to school. What about the other 60 per cent of the children? What do they do? The answer would shock many. The bulk of our child population is employed in hazardous and menial jobs. We see them in hotels and dhabas (roadside eateries) as waiters, working in factories and in houses as domestic help.

The government has laid down no provision for them. Some of them, who are not even lucky to get a job, earn their living as rag pickers, sweepers, toilet cleaners etc. This is their age to read, write, play, go to school etc., but it is not so. They should also have an equal right to education and comfortable living as the other 40 per cent of the children have.

Take the example of Shravan Kumar who is employed in a fireworks factory. He is only 12 years of age. He makes crackers, bulbs, electric rods etc. This is the age to play, read and write, but he is helpless. He has a mother and four sisters to provide for. There are thousands of children like him who need attention and love.

The children are the future citizens of our country. If the bulk of our child population is in this pathetic condition, our country can't progress. It is a bad example of our society and country. It is now up to us to do something for these children. We should co-operate with the government in finding a solution to this problem. It is a grave matter, which merits immediate attention.

Satan

SATAN

Satan is a monkey

Collaborating with sin which is a donkey

When he wants to get funky

He makes you feel so lonely

He makes you feel so dopey

Go away Satan

Stay away forever

You cannot suppress that

That which I feel

Blooming in me

Which makes me so happy
