A Poor Cobbler's Courageous Son

The barefooted handsome boy who mends shoes on a filthy street corner. Passers by; Some they whisper that he should join the film industry. A Varsity girl stops; 'Hey! Prince you don't go to school nowadays? ' 'No, My papa was paralyzed and I help him.' The boy said. 'I love you Prince.' 'Oh! What a beautiful sentence is that? But I am scared Princess. When my Papa was drunk He used to play the Mandolin And sings in the night. Love has mesmerized wings in the unrestricted serene sky And fragile souls swim and drown in the Milky way.' * I dedicate this to an innocent Cobbler who vanished during the ethnic violence in Sri Lanka.
