Orphan Tears

Don't Cry Mom!

By RagasudhaPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

At the age of teenage, you enter as a second marriage without any heirs

For our father who is full of old age! After several years, the bottle was left empty

With a lash, you stood with a barren title.

In a thousand wishes of the minor deity and the great deity

Something! I was born in your womb as a god to remove the curse and give birth to your son!

If secound wife gives birth to a son, what kind of milk will first wife secrete?

Enraged, she robbed her father along with his property and sent him to the cremation ground.

I took hold of the log with a hand that had drunk milk

No property, no own, a cottage, a kerosene lamp, you and I,

I am in your labor as a cow that loves air! U is an untamed child

Your poverty raised me!

I am a humble student in a dirty uniform!

If you are in trouble, is the pleasure of school for me?

They all stood at a distance and sympathized and became distant.

When declaring a discharge for the debtor's unpaid debt

Neighbors' scornful glances gnaw at me.

"Pichai Bukinum Karkai Nandre", its mean “ At least beg to read” higher education as far as I have read

“ Enough of your hard work.”

Employee income in private company is enough for me.

An ecstatic smile when you received my first salary.

I am raised as a debt-free prosperous life, and you lean as diabetes.

When the mighty death swallows you

I did not know what to do and stood there in tears. Be alone.

Enough of working for me, sleep! Don't get up.

Society has given me the title of an orphan

Regards

Ragasudha
