The Polka Dots

The Polka Dots

by: Shaffi A. Karimah

The poor polka dots

Do not have an attitude of mind

It's okay to enter the well, as long as they are together

It's okay to wallow in the mud, as long as they have friends

It's okay to be cursed, as long as they are not scolded alone

The pitiable polka dots

One step ahead is the abyss

Why they should go out, they are already comfortable

Why should show the canine teeth, it makes the appearance worse

Why should walk on the lonely road, walking together is more fun

The poor and pitiable polka dots

Between one and the other are same

Always choose to walk side by side

If they knew

At the end of the road there are so many different patterns

Which force them choose

Settle on the spot, or fall into the ravine and grab the rope for the climb
