UNTOUCHABLE 🌸
🌼🌼🌼
The side door swings back and forth
As in and out they run
A mischievous lot, they were
My maid's little children
Grandma frowned at them
Run round, they dare?
Outcaste and impure
Untouchables, they are
Grandpa smiled and said
Right you are indeed!
Untouchable they are
From vanity, pride, greed
Untouchable to sorrow
Nothing ever soils their joy
Untouchable to any worry
Smile fades not from their eye
They mind not of the world around
Untouchable to ideals so high
Their hearts are filled with love alone
Innocence they personify
Untouchable were their souls
For the insults and abuse hurled
Untouchables they indeed were
For the harshness of the world
Untouchable for the ways of the world
With joy and love they shine
Untouchable for the evils of mankind
They embody a spark of the Divine
They play and laugh gleefully
Standing by the threshold
Untouchable for the reality outside
So bitter, cruel and cold
They peek outside curiously
May this threshold they not cross
Innocence, laughter, smiles and joys
All are an irreversible loss
Moist eyed smiling nodded granny
Ceased being a tryanny
Through their play, frolice and fun
A valuable lesson I did learn
Play and run around as they wish
May their smile always sparkle
Unsullied by any malicious bias
May their eyes always twinkle
All the prejudices, vile and awful
May the world spoil them never
From the dirty murky mankind
Let they remain untouchables forever
