Africa too has its street children... AIDS orphans... soo sad Alf
once i was compering a programme for street children...i was swept off my feet by their spirited zeal towards life that we don't find with our conditioned kids...don't mistake me as being insensitive to the plight of these children...it's just that i was reminded of my experience on reading your realistic poem...
This is a very powerful statement about the tragedy of poverty and the plight of the smallest inhabitants of your fair country. And the pity of it is that these children do become, as you say so eloquently, 'towering infernos of ever growing fury' which guarantee a perpetuation of the same conditions that produced them in the first place. I like the way you pose rhetorical questions as you introduce your poem. It gives a directness and immediacy to the piece. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Their eyes meant for reading pictorial rhymes Are searching in vain for good Samaritans ............................................................... - Fine lines... 'Street children' it is a severe reality.... Let you words has not departed in vain.. Tsira
Strong words of conviction, Sathya, with passionate articulation of problems too often overlooked or purposefully ignored. When pondering these sorts of human shortcomings, I can't help but hope that we find a way to take care of each other instead of creating more victims. Warm regards, John.
This is very moving write again indeed sir.. I feel you v put your heart and soul in to this one.. If this piece cant address the heart of Indian people nothing can.. even in SRI Lanka there are lots of street children too... They need to be loved.. and cared.. when there are men like you.. i m sure such people's days will become great... with loves shan
Sathya, yes we all are responsible for children such as these. It is sad to see the waste, children like these could give so much, if only they had the chance. Well said and well written, thank you broadcasting such a message. Regards Bob

Sathya, You are a gem among men with a feeling heart for the downtrodden. You have raised very genuine issues. If we ignore them, our social foundations may not on weaken but the whole social structure might crumble under terrorism. I love this poem. CP
How dreadfully sad that such a verse has to be written at all Sathya - - and your pen captures all the horror of a system that allows children to live in the poverty of beggars - - - every nation seems to have it's outcasts - how sad. A much needed cry for justice for these little ones Sathya.....
NO CHILD SHOULD BE BROUGHT INTO THIS WORLD, SO THAT THEY COULD STARVE FOR FOOD, WATER, CLOTHES AND MORE IMPORTANTLY LOVE OF A PARENT. YET THIS IS ACCEPTED IN SO MANY NATIONS. A VERY TRUE AND INSPIRING WRITE. LIKE MY POEM CALLED 'ARE THEY CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD' WE MUST TRY TO SAVE THE CHILDREN FOR THEY ARE OUR FUTURES.
Very saddening to read such truth my friend....what has happened to this world...I can never seem to rest inside..as this continues to spiral out of control...it's a very sad reality in life....that should never be......thanks for this wonderful share 10+++
This poem is an eye opener...a very powerful write on the sad plight of street children 10+
I'll tell you this... if we keep striving to bring peace, love, and happiness to our world... purely and surely we shall be free... the Lord is coming soon to take that all away and one day I pray that all will go His way until the day that I say praise be to the one and only and in His presence, the humble and meek will stay
