I had an inspiration to write this poem as I was babysitting both of my cute nieces, Auliya and Nuha. When I saw them playing together happily, I finally realized that my world is indeed perfect, as long as they exist in it.. :)
IN INTAN’S PERFECT LITTLE WORLD
the sky is always blue and the
sun shines brightly
the weather is cool and snow
comes occasionally
rainbows are everywhere and at
night, the stars glimmer beautifully
there’s no greed, apathy and
jealousy
family bonds are sturdy and
friends are aplenty
and everyone there is just
purely and genuinely happy
nobody knows about the ‘idiot
box’ called the television
which kills imagination, free
will or even the feeling of compassion
by putting false stereotyped
ideas which creates animosity and aggression
there is no prickly feeling of
pain or sudden swelling feet and she’ll never wheeze
every time she wants to move
or just merely breathe
because the word ‘pain’ or
‘illness’ or ‘disease’ just do not exist
she is strong enough to walk
everywhere or just sit down to read under a tree
to watch Auliya and Nuha play,
laugh and just being carefree
while she lies on her back and
naps peacefully
she knows her parents will
stop to worry
and her siblings will not feel
any form of anxiety
because she will always be
forever happy, jovial and healthy…
