No Dreams
by Sree Grururaja
Madam, Sir
Perhaps like me
Most colleagues despair
No dreams for children
At least around here
Some progress was made
Then came covid
Hopes vanished
Fears conquered!
It’s more gloom
As flowers will not bloom
When all that matters
Is greed and power
The few who care
Cannot even dare
As there are watchdogs
Everywhere!
India’s children are bereft
Of good health and nutrition
Two years of learning lost
No Schools or play
Parents at home afraid
When they will get paid
For jobs were scarce.
All we can do
Is pray for things to resolve
So children can hope
For a tomorrow better than today!
