The Children-3

THE CHILDREN-3

¼cPps&3 & yhyk/kj txwM+h-English translation by GPBahuguna ½

Arrival of a child means

A man is in danger again.

That is to say,

The blood is brought under control now

With an excuse to

Harness seed, forest and population.

The birth of a child means

A man shall rise to become youth

To fight and defeat those

Who have selfish ends to meet by justice

He shall overpower the powerful clutches of death

Which grow hand in hand while we sleep,

Fondling the neck gently to be seized one day.

Therefore the event of a child's coming,

(Which is hardly an event for a child to be mattered)

Makes me uneasy

And my long drawn breath imply

A man is in danger again.

A first child and then the second child

Followed by a third child again

And this 'community of children'

Will form the population of men in future

This multitude of men

Were children in the beginning

When they grew up to be men

They said:

Children are the fools.

But whatever may be the children

As soon as they grow up to be men

They go against the children

(In this way the fool grew up to become adult)

A young man or an old man

May behave in childish way

But the child will

Behave the way he aught to behave as a child.

For instance

Before falling into the childishness

One has to go through his childhood first .

First of all a child is a 'Man'

And the second child is the other man

Thus the childhood of one

Wants to avenge the childhood of other.

Because both of them

Had to kill their childhood together.

In other words

When they returned after having killed their childhood

They had already become huge killers.

Now they are in search of many such grounds

Which the rivers did not form

But their flowing in had become necessary

To change the location of the scene.
