Orphan

A pampered child as I was Always loved,cuddled and respected Due to the radiance and brilliance Behoving my tender and soft face Coming out of my parents' ego Or may be of their baseless boasting. A calm but isolated in the group Ever lost in my own thoughts Chalking out plans for sustaining My ownself and my family. Once out of college I took to teaching The small kids blind to the fire Of hunger and starvation devouring The poor families of the inactive. The wedding garland round my neck Lowered my head and self esteem Only to see the affairs of my own Neglecting the plight of my parents . I am now orphaned by none other Than my parents for reasons still unknown. BHASKARANAND JHA
