The Kite That Got Away
A bird shaped paper kite
blown by the summer wind
flying freely above the blue clear sky.
Going up up and away
like a balloon floating in the air.
The rope still hanging from it.
The little boy just let go
when the kite tried to drag him up.
The little boy watched his kite disappear from the sky.
Feeling of sadness painted on his face,
like losing someone he dearly loved.
I cheered him up.
Like human being,
when life has no goal,
when the world is somewhat ignoring them
they wander around aimlessly like the kite that got away
and squander their sense of value and dignity,
without even giving a second thought.
