FANTASTIC WORK AKHTAR! , the subject of childhood is one dear to me, their is a wonderful simplicity and beauty that childhood has that adulthood lacks, true their are evils in childhood that we forget (the taunting of those disadvantage, the ganging up on weaker members) but there are also wonderful things, children's wars are just sticks and stones to what adulthood does. Wonderful use of language to the metaphor of using financial notes to designate time as a malicious banker that steals the dreams of young's innocence (I take it you are not a banker, or are one and have not love for the occupation) . Just do what I do default on the loan and enjoy what time you have. Time cant take away the child inside. Wonderful poem, finely executed, and up my alley.

An innocent girl can be easily duped unless timely warnings are given! Once fallen, she has to bear the brunt of her inadvertent sinful action all the rest of her life! A moving story!
