My daddy wakes me up at six in the morning, And says, "Wake up, it's time to go to school." My mommy helps me put my uniform, It make me look so cool. Shoes, yes. Tie, yes. Daddy and mommy said, "God bless". Before I forget, ID Card. Yeaassss. Mommy packed my lunch. Yumm... Yumm... Yumm... Going to school is merry. Because I sing with my friends, "Humm... Humm... Humm..." Ooppss, the bus has come, So I ran in a hurry. Driver uncle said, "I'll wait, Please don't worry." I board my bus at seven, Off it goes.. zooooom. We do our assembly, And then go to classroom. I love doing drawing, Ms. Lily is my favorite teacher. Friendly and always smiling, She calls me "Naughty little creature". We eat our lunch, And play in the afternoon. Sometimes I play hide and seek, Sometimes I play with balloons. We then study math, Two candy and two candy, makes it four. Then we study science, I love how tiger roar. Oooowww, it's time to go h
yes, do we care?
ReplyDeleteInsightful one, sarabjeet.
Thank you..
thanks Jayanth... :)
DeleteA very intense take on this prompt. The Life n death of a soldier and his/her family is something no one will totally comprehend until they belong to one!
ReplyDeleteunfortunately they are the totally ignored ones... :(
DeleteThis is so very touching and emotion filled.. a good haunting question..Sarabjit.. good to see such discerning young minds..
ReplyDeleteThanks RS... :)

DeleteIt is important to ask ourselves everyday how much we care. You got the point across very well.
ReplyDeletethanks dear... :)
DeleteYes we have to care ... life is given for caring.
ReplyDeleterightly said KP...thanks... :)
DeleteYou're right, each moment is a life unto itself. And we'd better appreciate each one before we have none left.
ReplyDeletecompletely agree with u rose... :)
DeleteI think most people care. But for me the question is, do we care enough to stop war and make peace?
ReplyDeletethats another million dollar question Patti...thanks... :)
DeleteDo we care?
ReplyDeleteHonestly feel, most of us don't...naturally
seriously...most of us don't give a damn... :O
DeleteWe live in a world where an actor being detained at an airport grabs more airtime and eyeballs than millions of people dying of hunger, soldiers dying unnoticed, crimes against humanity and other social crimes..
ReplyDeleteI sadly say that our real heroes and celebrities are not cricketers or actors.. they are the soldiers, doctors, firemen, police and all the people who are helping us sleep soundly at night, while they toil away 24x7
A very thought-provoking haiku dude!
thanks buddy... :)
DeleteThe picture is chilling! Anything can happen in a war and no one cares! A war should not have started in the first place!
