Sunshine, not always shines...

Here i see the rays again,
Here i watch the drowning moon,
Here i watch the birds chirping,
Here i see the swings swinging.

Joy overrules the world,
Happiness has no bounds,
There's no anguish no despair
I hear only merry merry sounds.

Walking by the street,
Giving myself a treat,
I saw a hidden child,
Peeping out, with eyes so mild.

He looked at the burger in my hand,
His piercing eyes made me halt ,
My feet froze to the land,
His reconnaissance like an ant.

He gazed at me with hungry eyes,
It was then that i realised ,
That every ray is not sunshine for all,
Every day is not merry after all,
World is full of prejudices,
So many children born without a bliss,
Rotten are the days for them,
So much of distress and mayhem.

I walked up to the child and gave him the burger,
Turned around and strolled down the street,
Wondering about by mood so chipper,
Disconcerted about his sad treat.
