IN QUEST OF IMMUNITY

A poor gazed at the sky

Asking the lord that why?


This affliction is on me

Happiness in life I can not see


When I was a little child

Dad erased us from mind


Flying all the way to you

Mom was left all alone with her hue
 

When I held a book in hand

She said literacy no need to understand


On your own feet you have to stand

You have to work just like your dad


Holding this muddy cup so hard

Pulling the riches feet with hand


Holding their bags on your loin

Begging till they drop you a coin


Life In tatters you have to pass

Nights you have to pass on grass


The poor dropped his crystal tears

While his heart was embraced in fears


Mom life should not be that cruel

My soul can't follow with no rule


I dream to hold my parents hand

Playing on the beaches and sand


Till when from winter I have to freeze?

Asking, crying, begging, saying please


Give me something warm to eat

A small shelter where I can seat


People's looks break my heart

Draws my tears on face as art


My life can not fly in my dreams

My face can't sink in cold streams


Till when my tears wash their shoes

Till when my dignity I have to loose


Stepping my bare toes on the snows

While my faded face, hunger shows


Pulling their leg, for something to wear

Kicking me, yelling ,that how I dare?


Touching our shoes with your hand

Holding them with your dirty hand


Passing my nights on the ground

While for eating there was nothing found


Mom looked at me with all her love

Look inside, see what you have


Gold and beauty is not for them

In front of Lord they will feel shame


Manner and soul is what you had

It's not what it has sent from mom and dad


Hold tight in hand paradise's cord

Always thank and praise the Lord
