THE INNOCENT VICTIM

Ishaan Srivastava

I had Sun as my daddy.

In 1930 AD,

He chose me as his ninth son,

A feud so pity, of a dwarf planet and the Sun.

 

All the planets shook hands with me,

And welcomed me with glee.

I, the little one was filled with fun.

A feud so pity, of a dwarf planet and the Sun.

 

I realised as I turned 10,

That Sun was my step-father and he was so stern!

He neither gave me air, water, nor the ability of fire to burn.

A feud so pity, of a dwarf planet and the Sun.

 

On my 76th birthday,

Planet Earth sent me away.

Now you know who was the innocent one,

A feud so pity, of a dwarf planet and the Sun.

 

Who am I? you as me.

But I may not even be a planet to about me.

Now you know who was the truthful one.

A feud so pity, of a dwarf planet and the Sun.
