little boy's smile

There was once this little boy

his life was no joy

People around him always murmured

about his mom who was brutally murdered

Reporters said his thoughts were a blur

when the boy was found next to her

He saw his mother in a pool of blood

and to his brain entered a traumatic flood

Not even one tear dared to come out his eye

His lips were pale, his eyes were dry

week after week,

the boy did not speak

His father didn't sleep for days

the little boy didn't get a proper raise.

Society tagged the boy "mentally bothered"

So the boy moved out of town with his father.

Well, next month some new gossip came.

Now they tagged the little boy 'insane'

As he was with his father who cried

On the cold bamboo flooring he lied,

with his dark red blood that never dried,

dripping from a chest with a knife inside,

and the little boy just sat beside,

watching his dad as he slowly died,

and suddenly the little boys' smile grew wide.
