Kidnapped

- Pooja Karnani

Trying to loosen these knots…

Trying to escape before she is shot.

If she won’t escape, her never dreamt dream

would come true….she cries for help , she screams…

but alas! All in vain…

from head to toe she is chained.

She is in great pain

Whole day and night her eyes rain…

She is locked up in these four walls

For help how many times hasn’t she made a call .

From the window , she gets a view

Where blue birds flew…

She desires to do the same…

Her  rights she wishes to claim.

She wishes to leave away these strands

And travel as far as she can

She thinks about her parents

She misses sharing ice-cream with her friends…

She misses her trustworthy ‘Timmy’

Small fingers of her brother ‘Tiny’

She keeps staring at the roof

Wondering why she is the one who is doomed to stay aloof…!

She yearns for her buddies…she cries for her teddy…

To fulfill their nasty desires she is ready.

If they free her

Her parents are ready to give all the precious pearls.

Staring at the roof , her neck is now in pain ,

Drought has arrived and no more rain…

Then she looks at the ground

And then a secret passage she found…

Without making any noise loud

She managed to open it with her mouth.

In that she her selves poured

And slowly closed back the door.

She dragged herself tied throughout the tunnel

And at the end to escape ,  found a fantastic  funnel…

To her  courage and hope , she gave a proper shape

And this is how she finally escaped….
