Where is My Share

By Kadambari Gupta

Those eyes were not just eyes each human being is born with they

were speaking of how hungry he was

For days together as not even a single particle of food was in his

stomach the long wait ended when ,mother finally

Brought morsel by begging on the streets for hours in heavy rains got

drenched completely to save the morsel from getting wet

All five siblings finally smiled as they will have food for real and need

not play the game of imagination where they imagined

Great delicacies being served on there plates and they licked each

bite and satiate there taste buds with it and stomach will be so full

that soon sleep

Would catch there eyes this was the imagination and reality was a

contrast as at times there would be only a piece of bread divided into

five with a sip of tea

Soon all siblings got together to relish the morsel the youngest one

said I just come in a ,minute as finally prayer got answered and food

is there

But when he returned and asked where is my share and got agitated

and frustrated to know his share was finished the siblings apologized

for finishing the food

And nothing was left for him felt dejected as finally the prayers for

food were answered

The words where is my share where is my share are not just his

words they are expressions of each child who witnesses the daily

grind of family struggling for food

Starving for days for a meal waiting in the long queue to fill those

buckets with water they often fall prey to diseased by drinking water

straight from the river

That is not purified for consumption people are careless they throw

food wrappers and other particles in the river they play with food

give each other colorful cake facials

Posting pictures on social media for likes and comments giving that

left over cake to a hungry child on the streets sounds a better idea if

each human being follows

This practice to give away food and feed a hungry stomach and

family today.

So lets distribute food of a party , wedding ,marriage or even daily

leftover to someone today and change his words from WHERE IS MY

SHARE WHERE IS MY SHARE

To I HAVE GOT MY SHARE I HAVE GOT MY SHARE lets change a life

today lets change expressions of a face that only depict sadness and

tears to smiles and cheers

In this world today there is inequality in equality we all are humans

though still lives are different circumstances are of another level the

distribution of wealth money resources

Are varied the graph lines are extremely low extremely high so lets

share our share behave in a manner that we care and are not

ignorant so promise yourself today

Share your share and each one will have his share have his share.
