The Illegal toil!

"Support and protect the future pillars of our nation; You're blocking their way to reach  their destination."





Childhood for enjoyment;
  And also for playing;
  Why crush their lives; 
  Under your feeling less feet.

They're small;
Meant to play with a ball;⚽
For going to school;
They shouldn't be fighting for everyday food.🍲

 Don't give them a single tear,😭
Cause it'll soon turn into a great fear;
They're not for earning money;💰
Spoiling their childhood as sweet as honey.

They have to polish shoes;👞
Even after so much refuse;
They also wash utensils;
And work for the whole day in the mills.

They have to work all day;
Just to get their daily pay;💸
No one thinks they're worth giving;
But it's arduous for them to earn a decent living.

Why don't they smile and laugh;
If we can?
Just because they're born in families;
Of some poor man...

STOP CHILD LABOUR;
No more mournful sighs;
I see all innocent faces;
Along with their sparkling eyes.👀

Tear filled eyes scan garbage;
In search of cans and food;
So sad , these eyes never saw;
Playgrounds of the school.

These hands only know;
How to clean and scrub;
And not to write and draw;
Oh!what sorrowful sights.

Hey, haters of childhood;
don't be so rude;
Never give them hammers;🔨
They're meant for pens and papers.✐

      I agree that every child has the right to cherish its childhood just like us.If all Indians join hands to remove this social evil, this would vanish for sure.

    1. I am glad you liked my poem and my way of writing.
      Child labour is an issue which is snatching the childhood from the children and a sight full of sorrow to see them work, thats what I wanted to express in my poem.
