Them, The Children Who Are Playing A Role Poem by Sari Mavi

Them, The Children Who Are Playing A Role



(I'm watching four children are playing a role)

Three people become students, one person becomes their teacher, who asked them talked about ideals

The din of chatter heard when they talked (I could not help myself become part of them) then I asked each of them:

'Sonia, why do you want to be a teacher? '
'I think being a teacher is very nice, because I like both telling stories and singing. I will always be happy and cherished by my pupils. I really enjoyed it.'
(I saw in her eyes sparkling bubbly)

'Bob, why do you want to be a doctor? '
'Because, if grandpa was sick, I was immediately healed him. Then we can play again. I'm very fond of him.'
(I was stunned to hear the reason she's saying)

'Then you Eddie, tell me about your dream? '
'Well, I want to be a cop. I'm going to catch as many criminals who roam. I will incorporate them into prison, so that everyone feels safe when walking.'
(I'm amazed by his courage)

'Sasha, your turn now'
'I want to be a judge. I will uphold justice in this world. I will see evil and the truth clearly, so that I can punish people properly.'
'As Bob who likes to lie to mom. He never take medicine. He always throw it, but said: yeah, already done mommy.' (Bob glared and tried to hit her sister)
(I laugh - and a salute to the ideals
belonging to Sasha)

Them, the children who are playing a role, with innocence is considered the world conquered by ideals

Them, the children who were playing the role, having high ideals of stars in the sky, and still keep it in the sky

(I pray for their ideals)
Hope they keep that spirit will not be extinguished, until they grow up

As I know, when they grow up, they have a lot of desire, then hang ideals only as far as the reach of the hand, or

Even forget the spirit of the children, then let life flow like water, just like that (?)
