A poor traveler and Alone Boy

"A POOR TRAVELER”

A traveler is walking but
  doesn't know where his path will end.
         The end of path can be good
                                 or can be bad.
                 But he goes on.
Along the way he has to make friends
             both the rose and the thorn.
     It is uncertain whether
                          the rose wants him well.
      It can not said that
                   the thorn always harms him.
     His will cannot stop his movement .
If he does not take one step, 
       he cannot take another step even if            he wants to.
           He cannot slow down or speed   up his pace.
     Many more pedestrians are walking  like him.
      But  everyone's path is not same.

         Everyone is different
                    in money and energy
             But the condition is the same
                                  Because it is life......


ALONE BOY”
swear of this world 
I will be a good boy.
never will play, never will fight
never will go outside for a long time .
please don't leave me in this dark night .
shouting and shouting
nobody replies.

Where is my father?
Who will say him,"papa, are you all right?”
Where is my mom?
Who will say her stories in the night?
Where is my cat?
Can't sleep without me right?
please don't leave me in this dark night.
Crying and crying
nobody hears..

Why everyone is crying?
I am so afraid.
where is my mom and dad?
please call them.

I know I am a bad boy
Never obey you,
told lie everytime .

I love you a lot
Is your love over for me?
Haven't you tell you never leave me alone ?
Then why you leave me alone
in this dark night?

Why they are carrying me ?
I am so afraid .
Where is my mom and dad?
please call them?
please don't leave me in this hole
more small than my room.
shouting and shouting
nobody replies.

swear of this world
I will be a good boy.
Never will lie, never will disobey mom and dad.
please forgive your dear son.
please don't leave me alone
in this dark night.
Crying and crying
nobody hears...

'Alone Boy' is heart wrenching. And while not heard then, he is heard in your poem. You gave voice to this child and the experience he had.
