IN'DEPENDENT'

She's born ,
They wrapped her in a PINK blanket
No smiling faces
Only sombre expressions.
Words of curses
Hit on her
Raw body ;
Just laboured body.

But HE was flying
'HE'R elder one.
He gave his precious car and gun to the neonate.

A swift roaring from a side
What impudence ?
She has to hold kitchen set and a barbie doll.
Keep it aside.
Infuriated voices.

But why can't she hold it for a while.
Look at her ,she just loving it.
Inexperienced said.

Heated glare on him.

He curled up to his mother.
Looked at the suckling.

Ammma, Why are they annoyed?
How loveable she is ,like you.

Because your amma is a dependent .

She would only fly
Whe she will be
INDEPENDENT.

Can she be really an
Independent?

Yes, she will be an
In'dependent' soon ;
confessed
an In'dependent'...
