The cradle lied unattended,as the uncle stood watching the child cry,

Cry until his throat almost broke.

With a grin..

The closed eyes of the child held tear lines,

Yet eyes did not open,as if he did not wish to see anyone..

The youngest born of the palace,lied asleep on a broken cradle,

Abandoned in a broken courtyard..

Claimed as the devil's child,due to his blue skin..

The cradle lied unmoved,just as the hearts of the residence..
