A Criminal Child

A criminal child. A criminal child,what could be more annoying? Daily he fails the excellence of the cradle: His school fee he spends in beer parlour The hostel bill he lavishes in the city casino, The cheque for books he exchanges in brothel. A criminal child,what could be more annoying ? He joins his gang to rob and flog his dad, He loots mum’s wardrobe for precious jewel, He goes under his mask and rapes his sister, He prays daily for their deaths to take control. A criminal child, what could be more annoying ? He turns his father to tenant in the house he built, He turns his mother to a staff in the firm she owned, He makes their cars memories of things of past, Their wardrobes now rags like falling banana leaves. A criminal child, what could be more annoying ? Every knock at the door takes them to firing square : Police they think, what again could he have done ? He puts tears on father’s cheeks hour by hour He implants sorrow in mother’s heart everyday. A criminal child, what could be more annoying ? The prime’s toils he squeezes down the drain, Though like horses they run, they lose the race , While they snore in dreams, their waking hour is void; What can be more annoying than antics of a criminal child?
