What My Grandson Said Poem by Gajanan Mishra

What my grandson said,
Let me reproduce here;

Dadu, dadu,
I want not to go
To the school.
I want not to listen
To teachers.
I want not to study
Any books written by
Anyone here.
I want not to appear
Any test conducted by
Any human.

I find no
Practical utility
There on.

Dadu, dadu,
I want to go
To the open field,
I want to talk
To the air.
I want to move on
With clouds.
I want not to sit
Or sleep.
I want to go outside
Under and above
The sky.

Dadu, dadu,
Let me fly.
