Little Akram
sits at his wheel,
he’s busy polishing
his diamond.

He’s good at what he does,
and knows it.

He does super good work,
and seldom gets beaten.

He really doesn’t care
who wears his diamond.

Some rich and fancy lady
may wear it on her finger.

Perhaps a big important man
can pin it on his tie.

He doesn’t know about any
of those things.

All he knows is
that he is very tired,
and hungry.

The diamond dust
clogs his nose,
and makes him cough.

He wants to lie down
in his secret place
on the Surat train platform,
where he’ll be ignored,
and yet protected
from the rats
by the constant traffic.

He’s glad people
buy his diamonds,
or else how would he
get anything at all
to eat.

What a sad world we live in especially when it need not be this way.

I was actually hoping for a circumcision.

Thanks dear Ida,

It's not so sad. The world keeps getting better all the time. It's all part of the human condition. Everyone plays their part the best they can.

Love Bobby

Thanks dear Serenity blaze,

Akram says--buy more diamonds.

BTW, Akram is likely circumcised, it’s an Indian Muslim name.

Love Bobby

Bobby,

That is always a problem in our world.

People who work such hard jobs and painful to the body to make enough money for a little bit of food is sad.

But, thats how the world works. We never know what might come next in this persons life.

He could become extremely Rich, and Wealthy!

I enjoyed reading this write Bobby

Thanks dear Artic Wind,

Akram's adventures will be followed. He's a very capable person, and, of course, one tough cookie. I wouldn’t bother with anyone who wasn’t.

Now that Serenity blaze has checked his circumcision, who knows what he might do.

Love Bobby
