lories....

someone is sleeping inside the cradle

with a descent face

no toys, no noise, no more other sounds

baby girl is lying with the peace in all space

breeze is dashing with all care

so, the girl don't get asleep

some sounds of birds chirping

and some of temple rings

all are creating so melody

that i too wanna be infant again

i too wanna be in the cradle

with my mumma sitting by my side

looking at my numb face

guessing my future, making some wish

wanting me to be a doctor

or to be in MNCs

i too wanna enjoy red sun's rays

sun of the morning

sun, at 5 o'clock, when its time of rubbing eyes

yah!! i want my childhood back

i want that free breath

with no toys, no noise and no more other sounds

else than my mumma's sweet "lories"
