the brain
of a child
is a school bag
where
knowledge
wisdom
he stores
a fact
only our
fucked
education
system
does not know
kilos of books
weighing a ton
a punishment
he undergoes
humped
back bent
he is an old man
in childhood throes
my own childhood
the weight
of my school bag
in a frame
of a picture
i froze
my children
carried it too
my grand daughter
marziya carries
it now
this is karmic
pain
from one
generation
into the next
generation
it flows
right
under
the teachers nose
no one to oppose
