Everyone Will Play in the Field Again












Debismita Deb

Kolkata, West Bengal. INDIA

Tukai’s cheeks are puffed today, His heart feels dull and gray; He will not do a single chore, So all his work lies away. His mother says, “From this day on, No mobile games for you; It feels as though life’s rhythm now Has simply slipped askew.” When afternoon returns once more, No children come to play; If games are gone from fields like this, How passes one the day? Whenever they get time at all, They choose a digital screen; With whom will Tukai play outside, If none are ever seen? Each evening still, with hopeful steps, He walks toward the field; No friend appears, so all alone He roams the open field. His parents watch with troubled minds, Their worries growing strong; “Have games of fields and laughter now Been lost to time so long?” With playless days and restless nights, Tukai feels worn and tired; His parents think from end to start, And plan what is required. “If he does not play at all, His mind will feel the strain; Let him play games on mobile phones But time must remain.” Each evening he will ride his bike, And go back to the field; If friends return on seeing him, Then games will truly yield.
