The Childs Rights

Anonymous
Let me grow as I want to be
Let me know why I want to grow like me
Not like my Mom wants me to be,
Nor my Dad aspires me what Ill be
Or my teacher orders me what I should be.
Please guide me to understand and help me grow
Please let me be what I wish to be
Let me be me
Just like me!

Uncertain Admission
Frances Bazil
The sun looks down on me in
Aimless blues
The sun glares at me with a
Questioning light
The mountains tower over me
With uncertain shadows
The trees sway in the
bewildered breeze
The deer dance in
perplexed rhythms
The crawls around me
in untrusting circles
The birds soar above me with
Doubtful dips and dives
They all, in their own way,
Ask the question,
Who are you, who are you?
I have to admit to them,
To myself,
I am Indian.

The Vast Sea of Clouds

Vina Palomo
Sometimes, my eyes run across the room,
And through the windows they go up high,
My thoughts and my soul seemed to be drifted away
How I wish my body could go along for a while.
The vast sea of clouds,
The light and warmth of the sun,
The cold breeze caressing my skin,
Are all but inviting.
What would it be like to have wings,
To fly as free as birds do;
To reach the never-ending horizon,
And leave all your worries behind?
I wouldnt mind being alone, then
For my solidarity would be enough for me
I would paint whatever color I wanted
And I would make it rain if I feel like it, too.
We all sure long to see those beautiful shades
Of blue, orange, and red
But not too soon I guess
For theres no turning back once we get there.
