Analysis of The Innocent Boy



He is the only
kith and kin of her.
He is her son,
Just around six-year.

His father is nowhere
since his beginning.
His mother and he made
this world full of meaning.

The boy stays alone
when his mother is at office
but I find him
full of vigor and very nice.

When other children of his age
either nagging or whining.
He sinks into serene contemplation
and drawing.

When we the elderly men
seeking help from others.
His books, toys, sketch pencils
are only helpful neighbors.

I meditate
and realize 'His' existence.
'He' is the only savior
of innocence.
