the strident call and all appear
in line,
on broken benches and leaking glasses,
its time to dine,
food on platter some fresh,
some stale,
some faces smiling,
some faces pale,
some adjusting their clothes,
some teasing their mates
some imagining the world outside
some cursing their fates
some searching for dirt in the water
some sploshing it
some wearing old garments
some wearing unfit
the surliness of the elders
the sadness in the air
the adamancy of not accepting
how happiness could be there
some small some five,
some have just turned 9
they are waiting in the line
expecting to dine
with faces full of innocence
camouflaging the tagered weed
with mirrors of broken hearts
a borrowed pen,a book to read
some re tended for robbery,
some re tended for theft,
some found vagabonding like an orphan
some do not know why they are kept!!!
