I Fly - I Fly

By Gopal Ahir

Bye mom, Bye dad,

I will come home early,

You both get ready,

Today we will go somewhere surely.

They packed the bags,

Get ready,

Life is calling them,

To merge in the sand early.

The bags were on shoulders,

Loaded with dreams,

Some had maths, Some had bio.

The class was the same, Full loaded,

The teacher came, all nodded,

They all had plans, Many Different plans,

But Destiny Decided one single plan.

A small blast occurred,

What's happening?

Need to run or wait? All Fluckered,

Is this the end? All Murmmered.

The Smoke came in, along with fire,

They broke down, some with shiver,

Only two ways to down,

Some went from the sun, some from the wind.

They preferred the wind to fly,

Sun was burning huge,

Opened the flaps they never had,

And made their last flight.

Another side the dad was waiting,

Mom was looking on the clock,

And a sudden rush in the air appeared,

Takshasila Complex on Fire,

Takshasila Complex on Fire.

Dad looked to the mom,

Mom broke down,

Everyone reached the Place.

What to see?

Everyone wanted their child to fly,

There comes their child,

Trying to fly,

The moment freezed

My child? Is that Mine?

No plz, don't, plz don't,

They whispered,

But they jumped like a Warrior.

Hospitals were full?

Is my child alive or dead? Don't know,

But they reached toggling here and there,

Some were on the list of "Dead",

Some were on the "Ventilator".

The body lay down on the table,

No face, no hands, just All Black,

The father asked, "Is this child mine?"

A Voice Came

I fly, I fly

Not to the Home

But to the sky.
