Looking Out of the Window

Yesterday I saw someone looking out the window;
I didn't know much about him, to explore
Neither did I know what he was searching for.

I looked out, to see a happy world
To see children playing and
elders walking with two or three stumbles
and still around.

He was of the same age as mine
But the way he looked around
it seemed as if he was watching a strong one bullying the weaker
and the elderly walking endlessly round and round.

He had  his age matched with mine
the lines on his forehead revealed much about his life
the life he was trying hard to hide from others

I thought I should go up to him
ask him to play with me
I would try my best to cheer him up
It was for the first time, A decision was made
A one fully mine

The next day I went to the door of his lonely house
I knocked and asked him out
The door didn't open and suddenly
the police came about

I heard people say
the boy has gone Beyond The Shadow of doubt
Left the world to be not reckoned without

People having a rough idea
That must have been about him
Lying buried in his permanent hideout......
