Wings of Joys !

Acrylic on 12″ x 16″ Canvas

A very simple painting, conceptualized & executed in just 15 minutes.

Can you guess how the feet were drawn ?!!

Prints of little feet on the washed ground ?!

Oh !! Here comes the baby with face round !!

We offer the heavenly child loads of butter

And words of endearing love we utter !

We bathe him in jugs of milk

And clothe him in yards of silk ;

We cheer the lord with the flute

And allow him to our hearts loot !!

ῢ ῢ

This is, in fact a period of ‘celebrity’ birthdays

Celebrations galore in more than one ways ;

We honor India’s birth as a free nation

With much fanfare and preparation ;

We lay a tasty feast for the Elephant God

And a fancy umbrella we make his abode !

My dear little town too is bustling

With gaiety, to mark her beginning !

ῢ ῢ

Amidst all the ensuing  gala and festivities

Uncared for lies the child with unmet necessities ;

For them one meal a day and an untorn dress

Are fantasies, that are deemed as excess ;

Aren’t they entitled to childhood joys

And an assured stream of unending smileys ?

ῢ ῢ

To explore life, lets give them wings

And erase all forced abusive markings ;

Let every child celebrate her glorious birth

And from deprivation get freedom on this earth ;

Let this season mark every child’s loving genesis !

And thats how it should be, right Friends ??
