Belled, flowery, Tyrolese valley. Open-handed map

Awarding the world its world.

And yet, for these

Children, these windows, not this world, are world,

Where all their future’s painted with a fog,

A narrow street sealed in with a leady sky,

Far far from rivers, capes and stars of words.

The map on the wall signifies:

• that the rich people enjoy limitless world of opportunities

   

• the slum children are luckless

   

• the educated people have wide scope of making progress

   

• All of the above
