AM I NOT A HUMAN?

Covered with black dust

My hands are burnt

My feet are bleeding for I walk on the road without shoes

I see other children walking to school with books in their hands

And I want to be there with them

Am I not a human?

Do I not exist?

Give me education

I am the future of this nation!

During summers, I burn

During winters, I shiver to death

During rain, I am soaking wet

I want some clothes to wear

I want to be like those who can AFFORD such needs

Am I not a human?

Do I not exist?

Out of all your jackets and raincoats

Can you not give me one?

Many children like me

Die every week

Because we have empty stomachs

I see other children with

Burgers and pizzas in their hands

I don't want such items

All I want is fresh bread; roti and fresh sabji

Am I not a human?

Do I not exist?

Amongst your tasty meals,

A bite won't spoil anything.

Sitting alone in corners

I watch other children

Walking hand in hand

I also want a brother or sister

I also want a home and parents

Or maybe just a friend.

Am I not a human?

Do I not exist?

I am not asking for much

It may seem alot to you,

But,

You have it all.

Think about me,

I DON'T...

I still prefer short forms...

This post is only for kids...Not parents or adults. Why? Because parents or adults will not write this:-

Hi! Hru? Wassup? Nm, u tell. M bored f skool. Waitin 4 d hols. R u goin nywhere??? Cn I cum 2? Nyways gtg. Tc. Bi.

They will write this:-

Hi! How are you? (They will not write wassup) Nothing much, you tell. I am bored of school (well, actually office) and am waiting for the holidays. Are you going anywhere? Can I come? Anyways, got to go. Take care. Bye.

Thats why this post is just for us kids who have gotten so engrossed in short forms that we have forgotten "HAVE" is not written as "HV" or "YOU" as "U". Our teachers, parents and all adults are after our lives to forget this short-cut method of writing because our English is going down the drains. But, we kids just don't seem to understand. Short forms are easier and faster to write. Less letters to type, fewer spellings to learn. Yes, its true that we might get an E in our English papers (E is considered fail), but we don't care. Short-cut life is easy. I know that my relatives are also reading this post and expect me to write full-forms. I'll try...I promise I will!

A note to parents:- We kids will never change.... No point really trying....
