The First Born Child's Plight

Throughout my journey of life I meet faces,

Faces of despair, guilt and full of tears,

Faces that are strange to the realities of life.

Yet life forgets the one child that it plans to teach the hard way,

#The_First_Born_Kid

A child who bears the shame and experience of learning from the school of life,

Yeah! This is for my firstborns out there who never had the chance to say it all.

The kid who had to learn how to live with another kid from I don’t know where in the name of brother,

The child who had to learn the manners of life from the cane,

The child who was never listened to for being thought inexperienced,

The child who didn’t have bigger brothers or sisters to go to after completing school,

The child who had to hustle and bustle through thick and thin to build the first house,

The child who had to bear the humiliation of a prophet who is not accepted at his home town,

That kid who was always sitted at the corner of the class thinking of where to get a meal for the siblings,

The girl who ended up selling herself to earn at least to take her sick mom to hospital,

For the guy who ended up in the hands of conmen in dire desire for a future for the siblings,

For the child who hardly slept in great prayers for this noisy poverty,

For them that ended up making the wrong choices of making cash for the sake of their family,

For them that got first hand discouragement from society for starting a business,

For them that never had anyone ahead to help them fly like an eagle,

For them that learnt that life was a Do-It-Yourself project,

For them that were called “Over-Ambitious” when no one saw the future he had in mind,

For them, yeah!For them!For them!For them FirstBorns I write.

They may never have had the best bungalows in town, but they helped the younger one build one,

They may never have become the best politicians,but they build a ground for their baby-Presidents,

They may never have become the best bankers,but the younger ones learnt how to be the best CEOs from them,

They may never have reached the summit, but then they taught the younger ones that where else can one go after reaching the top other than to descend.

This is for you,

Don’t you ever regret for the way you are,

Don’t you ever regret for dreaming big about your family,dreams are free,

Don’t you ever regret for being the gatekeeper at that church,except for your faith the family could have came crushing down,

Yeah! My Fellow First Borns,

This is for us,

We Made It First,

Feel appreciated!

You are the best bunch of guys I ever met.
