    "Eight!", that shy girl said when I
    Asked her age and I felt so sad.
    Never one I am to believe that lie
    That child labor is addressed hard.

    In markets, malls and numerous
    Small shops that are everywhere
    You spot at least one! Ominous!
    You mean as you just don't care!

    Government says that its spending
    Millions yet, there is no change.
    Unless we unite, nothing can bring
    A change. There is a slight chance.

    In those hands that wipe the tables,
    Mend the shoes, shows dress range,
    Working is stalls and parking lots,
    Selling In the beach and at signals

    There lies a potential unseen.
    Let us try giving them a chance
    To get educated. That isn't mean.
    Yet their lives will surely be enhanced.

    We can help in numerous ways.
    Donating cash, clothes and books
    And other stationery too may
    Bring that little change. But look!

    We can do much more too!
    Lets teach them something we know,
    And address their concerns truly.
    A part of our time will do. You know?

    The saddest part is they are children without childhood. Thank you :)

    So true RGS. When will things change? Will they change? Help given unless willingly received is also of no use. Let's hope both sides are open and that we awake to a brighter tomorrow.

    You are right Satchi. When faced with a disbelief and lack of hope, lets try doing our part a bit first and then see how best we can encourage others. Whether that works for others or not, at least, we will feel better that we are trying something good. Thanks for your nice feedback. -rgs
