Helpless Mother’s Innocent Icon
A sparking drop drops from two tiny lips,
And now in a watery thread very gently it slips,
The beautiful threaded-drop very slowly slows down,
And at last it comfortably falls to the ground.
Five delicate fingers now wipe the face,
Before a second drop could join the race,
And now two twinkling eyes flooded with water,
Start spying around the factory for its mother.
Helpless mother is busy carrying bricks on her head,
The father probably busy in some drinking trade;
Seeing the child crying, the tired mother becomes angry,
Though she well knows that her icon is indeed hungry!
Watching a pair of beautiful birds, hunger the child forgets,
And now, another sparkling drop gently starts another long race…
Assam,
India.
