Blank

I am losing all sharpness
to win an argument
good riddance.

Children of my world
playing rape-rape game
shoot-shoot game
right in their schools
like hide and seek of the yore
innocuous, pure
the bigger kids must be
heading somewhere
towards progress
with all of them.

Inside
I am listless
I re-read the lines
of the pied piper.


Note:
The poem is in response to children shooting each other, playing rape games in schools.
Reference: The Pied Piper of Hamelin by Robert Browning
