"Untouchable"

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
