Child is the father of man, the famous line by William Wordsworth. This line is highly symbolic. Every child has the right to enjoy his childhood but some children are forcefully put to work. This is a remarkable poem with a strong loud message. So inspirational! ! ! Thanx for sharing! ! !

I know this feeling, but when I was hungry and there was no bread I never had feeling to have some, because nobody had in my neighborhood. And now I do not wish anything what other people have, but God gave me everything what I need now, why I am grateful every second.

It is unfortunate that at a tender age, children are forced to become bread winners of the family! It is even shattering to see children slogging like slaves and being mercilessly treated by their heartless employers! What they get may be just a square meal....! ! Reacting to such crippling practices should be the self undertaken task of a civilized society! Good job Shahzia!

child labour is one of the hardest reality that is still practised all over the world....this poem seems like an eye opener that atleast one of us can save a child doing labour and bring him into horizons of knowledge, games, care and all..regards shahzia

Respond against the social evils is the duty of a writer.But alas most of them only see dreams and imaginations.How to change this world, that may be the motto, at least with some of their writings.Congrats Shahai, this poem carries a good message against child labor.jk
