Hopeful eyes, pretty smile <br />Soft hands, million dreams <br />Isn't the identity of a child? <br />Then why do I see <br />Drowsy eyes, timid smile <br />Rough hands and shattered dreams <br /> <br />Deprived of their childhood <br />Crumpled by the workload <br />Burdened with responsibility <br />In such a small age <br />If they lose these wonderful days <br />Would it come back again? <br /> <br />There is so much to learn <br />So much to accomplish <br />Not being given enough chance <br />Fight for a cause <br />Raise your voice <br />Exterminate child labor <br /> <br />Do justice to them <br />Bring back their smile <br />Bless the million hearts<br /><br />Kavitha Krishnamurthy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/child-labor-2/
