THE  BALLAD   OF   TWO   YOUNG   CRIMINALS 

(This  Poem  - Dedicated  to  Oscar Wilde's  " Ballad  of  the  Reading  Gaol")

=========================================================

He was  a  " sing-song  voice " and  of  juvenile  age

police  named  him  ' free-lancer ' in bus station site

'he was a  helper  on buses  and would  call  passengers'

and  would  invite  all  with 'his  'sing song  tone'

" was  a  popular  boy ---always  changed  his  jobs'

 His  worst  luck  was  to be in   Criminals ' den 

the  closest he came  to one  was ' a heavy  drinker  with temper'

 and   became the  'victim' of  Nation's  rapid  growth

with " free market  economy "  and  urbanizing  dreams !

Vinay sharma  also   one of  millions  of  B.P.L -dreamer
a helper in a gym and  dreamed  of  'sure'- success in life 
He always  said - '"  I will make it  BIG  in life "
 and  told  it  often  to his  mother  too, beside !

Martin  Luther !  ,you told , --"I have  a dream "
These  juvenile  and  young  too  had  also  their  dream
Some  'free market economy ' and  urbanizing  tech 
crushed  their  cherished  dream and  let  them  to 'Hell'

We all have  'Dreams'  but very  few  're  fulfilled 
Juvenile "sing song "  and Vinay  had  their  'Dreams '
Most  buds-flowers get  crushed ; one  in million  bloom
Luther  ,  your  'impossible' dream - though   now  fulfilled !
