A Lost Kid! Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

They just didn't,
Lose their Way!

They Lost their,
Years of Dreams;
Lost their Love & Care,
Missing a Family &
Cover of a Shelter!

Unmindful Some,
In Frustration Some;
Lack of Rapport Few,
Discarded a Few;
Either got Slipped Away,
Or Were they Abducted?

Life of a Million,
Cheers & Chuckles;
Lost Every Year, As
Reported Worldwide!

Society Shrunk,
Too Small in this,
Connected World of,
Internet & Satellites!

But those Lost Kids,
Can't be Traced;
Technology, Authority &
Power Vested Elsewhere;

Not in Child Protection,
Not in Child Rights;
Future Citizen Prospects,
Lost in Futile Efforts!

In Shambles & Rumbles,
In Troubles & Worries;
Fertile Age of Fables,
Fractured & Vanished!

Their Hungers & Cries,
Years of Wings & Wonders;
Lost in the Winds of,
Busy Crazy Selfish World!
