A Child's Whoop

Papa papa, I want to go to school

Papa replied keep quiet you little fool,

Now have your lunch

And start the work with your tool.

The child exclaimed why shouldn't I study

The father replied you don't have to learn little buddy

The child started his forlorn walk towards mine,

He was sad , but pretending everything to be fine.

The Child was distressed

And his father was impressed,

Seeing his little child in labour

Did nothing for him,not even a favour.

The child was heartbroken, as his friend is dead

Many says the child inhaled the poisonous lead,

The child tried be intensified

No way was there as his hands and feet were tied.

The child got no chill and continued with his duty,

The mine was so dusty, and he lost his beauty.

One day the child will also be dead,

And will be in his last sleep on his bed.
