Reference:
These lines have taken from “THE FEED” written by Ahmed nadim qasmi.
CONTEXT:
The mother sparrow brings a grain of millet to feed her young ones. The new born are in the nest. They are ten in numbers. She wonders how she should break that small gain into pieces to feed all of her ten children. The poet asks man that he can split a small grain of food to feed lacks of hungry people.
EXPLANATION:
Apparently this poem is very simple but when we read between the lines we find it conveying a very thought-provoking idea. A mother sparrow comes with a grain of millet in her beak to feed her ten children. Seeing the mothers they all gather around her and open their beak that grain into pieces and feed all her children to give them satisfaction.
The poet keenly observes the movement and gestures of the mother sparrow and her children. He conveys his observe in simple and vivid language and recreates before our eyes.
