A CROSSROAD
I shall not let him
have a name
let him grow, experience
and decide
what he wants to be.

I shall not force him
to go for attestations
affidavits or fake passports.

After all
what is there in a name?
Does it speak of caste,
creed or sex?
Does it try to bring
fellow beings closer?
Or, does it let us fight?
