Water seems to roar angrily. Ammi directs children to cross railway lines but some children are attracted by swirling water. Gahanna stands on the concrete wall, watching. Suddenly, Gahanna sees Alifiya slip and fall and she...

He is an adolescent Out of home he was sent, Life for him is a blunder, Deprived of father’s love tender, Clothes, ragged and torn, Health in body worn,Split mind has streaks of sanity,Numbed soul, blurred spirituality,Pride inborn swells with fortune,But street adolescent cheers misfortune. His mind has a vacuum, Allowing evil to enter in, He utters, “I am great, Because of tasks done...

A house disordered, The members battered, In minds confused, In speeches slittered, In sight littered, The plight tethered, To a view vandalized. Pitch rise to a high decibel, Speeches screeched to a pinnacle, Defying concentration. Deriding laughter bleeds, The mind of feelings lead, To a loophole called hell, Where evil forces dwell. A home riding to a hell, Converges restlessness, ill feelings...

Minds of children are at stake, When family is an...

You cannot bog me, You are a void, Toying with darkness. Tyrant childhood! Bitter and barren, A concatenation of mockery, Myself on verge of jeopardy. You were a ravaging fear, I fear the thought of you near, You were the...
