THROUGH THE LENS OF KIDS

 Look at them, soiling their hands, doing the craziest things, till that albescent dress becomes "it was white"

with love in their hearts & joy in their soul,

zero hate, they radiate unclouded love.

Calm mind, clear head, pure intentions,

forging their individual paths, writing stories, claiming their history & soaking up all the memories.

why can't we just live and see life through the lens of kids? 

look at the fish in the see,

swimming across the ocean, trusting the wave, exploring depths, living in harmony, even without an ocean master. 

look at the birds in the sky,

singing in modulation, feeding our ears with melodic sounds, their rhythmic chirping, the wind beneath their wings, they don't hate or curse,

coz there's enough sky for every bird.

look at the shiny stars,

tiny, & strategically scattered across galaxies,

watching over us, illuminating our paths,

guilding us with trail of stardust.

see our kids, they do things that distastes us,

young and curious, they do the exact thing we admonish them of.

"junior! get away from the gas stove"

mum yelled, but when she looked away curiosity got the best of me;

indeed, a burnt child dreads the fire.

see the newborns, innocent infants cute and adorable,

they know not how to walk or talk,

yet they say everything that needs to be said,

but since no one was listening, they grow up fast to walk their talk only for the system to call them a menace.

Look around, what do you see?

I see humans, but no humanity.

life is really simple, but we humans are complicating it.

if only we could just live & see life through the lens of kids.
