By Manasv Nandeshwar, Class IX C
Call it greenhouse effect of whatever,
It just doesn’t rain like it used to.
That sparkle in the eyes,
Those faces with smiles,
Those mouth-watering fries,
Where is all that?
Is this a phase of life?
Well, Shakespeare missed it in his lines.
What has happened to us, our face?
Is it just another side effect of the race?
What is wrong with us?
“Oh Almighty! Oh! Guide your children.
Darkness is rising, show us the path.”
Says I, even though I know the reply,
“Oh my child, dear child, you know
Where the darkness lies!”
Yes, in my heart, in my brain, in my body, my soul…
Darkness is just a devil,
Risen from the bad and the evil,
Don’t worry my friend, he is inside temporary…
Just increase the rent,
And you won’t know when it fled,
I used to like standing in the rain,
So that no one can see me crying,
But now? Nothing. My tears are drying, my tears are drying.
