Midnight's Children

Midnight the fateful hour of India's birth as a nation,
Independence was gained August 15, 1947
Devilish children were born on that night
New born babies were the future of the country,
Individual talents,
Gifts were given to each child of midnight.
Hindu's, Muslims, Christians alike
Tied together by the common thread of birth on that day,
Seconds after midnight babies were born with delightful powers that would save the nation.

Children discovered one another by the true child of midnight,
He connected them with his telekinesis mind
Industrious little lad of ten trying to teach them all that they could change the country.
Love the family that is not yours,
Dead relatives,
Rivalry with the neighbor boy that never got old, the sight of his knees would haunt him forever
Everyone ran for cover, corrupt government was ruling the streets.
Nation wide were the children hunted for, betrayed by the two true children of midnight, their fate was sealed.
