Wilted flowers

Born 3 years ago . Name “Tears”.Lying in the wooden cot decorated with colourful beads on outer walls. On above middle rod it had a beguiling musical hanging toy to please her. It was her maternal grandmother’s gift on her first birthday .
Her mother was carving paper boats,butterflies and planes for her morning glee. Tears was dreaming a little Honey Bee. Bee came near to her. Tears got frightened because Bee had sharp painful sting . Nature had mercy so Bee knelt and said lets come with me I will show you how I muster nectar. Tears said no please I am comfortable here . Bee replied don’t get scared I am your friend come here to take you to wonderland . Then very moment Tears got hit with the boundary of cot. Dream had broken. She rubbed eyes and landed to fresh up but her dangling steps ought to be facilitated for getting bath. Her soft skin required enough delicacy to be treated with innocuous accessories.

Mother called her to have breakfast . She became anxious to eat her favourite Nashta half friend egg and paratha. After had gone through breakfast she started playing . Father tossed her prudently she was excited because she knew it her life is in the roughly hard hands of a labourer.

Tears , Tears , heard her name. Voice was quite familiar she went and ate her favourite candy but without slight wave of danger. He carried her in his black wool shawl . She was unconscious . Might be her broken dream was going to come true .

Shattered emotions of a mother. Snatched tufts, scratched features . Tsunami devasted the dreams of bright future . Havoc gathered blisters of her father’s uphill battle . Autopsy report was the translucent visualisation of her throbbing but silent scream.

Manhood became loathsome after beastly presence . His heinous lust splintered petals of blooming flowers of several gardens . Here is another pathetic situation where many children are in suppression of child abuse . Their gleamy future have been destructed . Their confidence on last breaths . Innocence of those beings have evaporated.

Awareness might be a strong weapon but, when matter of months and two or three years of age come in consideration ,there, no chance of awareness. Diligence of parents is inevitable . Either we have seen many cases where father, grandfather,uncle and neighbours have been involved.
Therefore we should not leave the rope of hope and kept ourselves on spreading awareness. Being playing part in societal advancement would create massive change. Need to provide counselling and meditation on social and psychological diseases. These types of filthy practises have deep psychological backgrounds. Tantalization of body requirements and mental pathetic conditions brought child abuse. Poverty created the pathway of crimes. All these issues must be addressed on emergency basis.
