You love to play and dream…

how much?

how often?

how long?

will you handle your life

with support

of world.

when will you grow

the little child

in me enrolled.

you played next door

you hurt your knee

each time you ran

you witnessed defeat.

but you didn’t grow

believe me

you smile when defeated

when will you grow

to realise what victory is?

you chanted the God

while drinking tea

you never thought

how auspicious is he

why you enable so much

of defeat

in one life with no success

no goal

no dream

little child in me

when will you grow

to be BIG?

like your boss

like your colleague

on special seat

in heavy dream

you wake up

still

with a scream

I thought you have grown

but the very next second

you forget your dream

and smile real

some wound

some haste

some hastened phase

I thought will grow you

in me

but hurt by the death of stranger

you cried

how stupid are you

my inner child

you did not weep

when your dream broke

to three

but then I see

another man dead

by heart attack

by diabetes at it’s best

I realise

my inner play

maybe that’s what keeps me

healthy each new day!
