Breaking from a Seed

Lost are those days when we were kids

Crying was evident for all our needs

Can't stop growing there were no options

School was only world & mind full of questions

Curious were brains and hearts were impatient

Melted & tempted when small candies were present

Pressure to learn was like pressure to earn

Exams were terror & vacations were fun

Full of energy, desires and dreams

Decisions were supported with weapon of screams

In morning we fight by evening was truce

We never had ego, we hardly knew to refuse

Innocence was a treasure, minds were free

Hearts were open and generous like tree

Then came age for specific knowledge

Use of courage and use of bondage

As we grow we learn new reasons for tears

The new world is new friends and peers

Reasons to compete have changed so fast

And the race is now for toys of different cast

We still play but toys we never share

Games are different with no rules to declare

I wonder today why can't we think like a kid

Like new born plant breaking from a seed
