FODDER

Seen A half mind
which has a limited view?
Horizons yet unseen
Nourished with poverty
In a malnourished womb.

A no question mind
no mountains to conquer
No goals to attain
Living in penury
Earning its daily grain.

A mind which evokes
Pity and despair
In your mind
And mine
Every day.

As a working child
Their fate depended
on a mere meal
of curried rice, sugar
to make them free
an average being
like you and me.
