Chokra Choka

The old Chokra chokes on adult 'boy's' servitude should have no worries tends Tim's garden exchanges labour for money blessed in helpless poverty judge not Tim's envy he understands no better Reincarnation Cast out Karma spells of Peace desire a master Nirvana escapes him but wants to tend flowers Tim never walked in Chokra's footwear how could he thorns in his mind have no shame slaves have no shoes and no name 28th October Syllables checked with howmanysyllables.com Choka written for Edward Ibeh's contest: 'One Of The Seven Deadly Sins' Chokra is derogatory (in South Asia) for a boy, especially one employed as a servant. Adults as well are called boy in lieu of their name.

I had no idea of Chokra. A good composition with suitable title. Congrats.
