O Naughty Child..! [ Concluding Part-10 ]



[ Part-10 ]

When i dress up for outdoor works
Like a puppy my legs
Closely circumbulate;

Eyes burst with hopeful pleas
And serious doubts in equal measure-
Painfully strain your head
Up above into my eyes!

Soak me in coaxing tones
Circling like a spinning top-
With your clutch of my dress
Never allow others to near
Fully suspicious of a forceful snatch!

Painted walls are your drawing boards!
Recklessly scribble to suit your whims!
Is it a coded communication to God above!

All our ' dos ' are your ' don'ts '
And our ' don'ts ' are your ' must dos '!

Show no respect to elders-
Whoever may be never you bother!

All amidst laughter you kick and punch;
Execute powerful kicks right on chest;
Mount on backs as sweet salt sack
And drive them around on all fours!

If you hear any challenging voice
Suddenly slap with no second thought!

Fresh new words you daily bloom-
You transport us to realms of bliss
As you stitch edgeless words
In your childish chats!

The Tamil Saint Poet Thiruvalluvar says,
'Only folks ignorant of their child's prattle
Would say that flute and lute are melodious!

O child..
You prove him right in every age!

You have no belief in any worship-
But stitch your eyes on offerings alone!

How these folks forget a ' God on Strolls '!

When you suffer in pain of disease
I rain tears unable to bear.

If I were to be God
My first edict would be-
'NO DISEASE SHOULD NEAR A CHILD '!

O naughty child of endless pranks!
To which worlds would wing away
All these pranks?
While your eyes bud in sleep?

Does the Core Silence
Of the Universe's Whirl
Meditate Deep on your Budded Lids?

.....CONCLUDED.
