Ritu Wason Poem
Often must have U seen,
A child cry and wean.
In the world so mean,
To help none is keen.
For a tender soul, why must happiness fade?
why must he nest such a pain?
Oh! eyes soared and body caned,
Amidst dark nights, in a shady lane.
Oh Man! Wake up.
Your conscience, you shake up.
Spread your arms and let the warmth flow,
Give that child a smile, a glow.
For he deserves it, every bit, every ounce
To be saved from sharks, ready to pounce.
Stand up not for him, but for us.
Let's not forget, we were also child once.
When wanting to fly and raring to leap,
All cajoled in our mother's keep.
Protected and blessed, we could dream,
and were held lovingly, if we did scream.
Then is it a lot to ask?
A happy smile and not a mask.
Dreamy and not teary eyes,
A gift of life and not a tag of price.
To the path of happiness and glee,
Oh please, let these children flee.
I promise, I will let them be.
Why not? I owe this to a child in me.

Ritu Wason Poem
Go my child, beyond and high,
Reach the stars while you fly.
Fear not for the pits and fall,
Were you by birth, this tall?
You started your way up with a crawl,
Winds and rain, you survived through all.
See, how easy it was not to let go,
Now reap those seeds that you sow.
It's the time to rejoice, as you found your grail,
And found it over again and again.
Now reflect in pride, not in vain,
It's time to weave another sail.
This time closer to home, on the ground,
A stretch of arms, awaiting to surround.
A place where your childhood still plays,
And your pictures are forever on display.
Grab these moments, cherish them with delight,
You might not see them on your next flight.
Your path is blessed, what if wheels of life ply,
Happily I gave you wings to fly.
So, fly you must without any fear.
And to behold you, I will always be there.
Though unseen, you will feel my presence,
Around you, my aura and my essence.

Ritu Wason Poem
How and Why??
With whom and where..
Amidst innocent cries
and tearful eyes,
HUMANITY ONCE AGAIN...
THREADBARE...
Don't let the pain fade this time
Don't let politics and religion play
Zero tolerance is the demand now
A new promise, a fresh vow..
Slogans and protests no more in vain.
Days passed, Oh! Sadly I hear,
Thank God, it is not someone Dear..
And see HUMANITY ONCE AGAIN
WENT DOWN THE DRAIN...
