Our terrifying World!!!

She went out to play,
With two ponies and some clay.
She wanted to draw the sky today
So that she could show it someday.
You saw her alone,
You saw her naive,
And then you thought of a nasty plan.
You thought it’s best to take her away,
And then you started looking at the sky,
Admiring it like she does so that she won’t cry.
You slowly came closer to her,
You started looking beastly at her
You thought that she’s another Zainab or Farishta,
So you went to her and asked her name.
But when she turned you felt the pain.
She was no one but one of your own.
She was your daughter, the girl of your home.
And then you slowly asked one thing,
"Why are you here. All alone like this?"
She slowly came closer to you,
Whispering in your ear telling you truth.
" I saw you coming here every day.
But this is a park meant for me to play.
Why you never took me with you?
When there’s no one who is meant for you.
These slides and swings are made for me.
Promise that next time you’ll come with me."
You cried and cried and thought what you did.
There was nothing else but endless guilt.
If you once think about the child of your own,
These Zainab’s And Farishata’s won’t be bullied anymore....
