Missed Call

Innocent girls are robbed of their treasures by cheaters using mobile phones

The story started with a missed call.
The mobile phone showed a number,
Which the girl could not remember at all.
She thought for hours and fell in slumber.

After a sound sleep she dialed the caller.
A male voice replied from the other end.
She asked him why he called her,
The man said he wanted to make her friend.

Then the story took a different turn.
New hope was born in the mind of the virgin.
She loved the man and started to yearn
For marriage and  eloped beyond the known margin.

Soon a new story floated in the air,
The girl was cheated and wandered everywhere.

I fear technology for both my son and my daughter! Great write and reminder!

[zainul]

You are a great mom indeed.
But,how do you feel your son and daughter will grow up as a useful citizens?
Thanks for your admiring review.

[EileenMarie]

Double edge sword...... but so far they both have shown good judgement and I have to say I am lucky because they are both really close to me. Sometimes they tell me TOO much lol....... Seriously though both come to me if they have an issue internet or plain ole public! I am grateful for that :)

[zainul]

Thanks for the care you are giving them.
Moms are like mother birds who fight to the last to protects their chicks.
I adore you Eileen for being an ideal mom.
I also appreciate your children as they still rely on you,come to you as needed and share whatever is happening around.
Family and friendly relationship have many virtues for upbringing the children.

It's even more "sad" because it's the truth. Thanks for sharing~

[zainul]

Thank you for the sympathy for the girl.
Thanks for the admiring review.

This is so sad, and it does make a story. It is so important to be careful, not only with the Internet but with mobile phones. As technology grows so does danger.

[zainul]

There are cheats,rogues,rapists among men and prostitutes,s***s,w***e among women who take advantage of innocent girls by utilizing all tricks of deception and modern technologies like internet and mobile phone.
Now-a-days mobile phone has become the major tool for alluring and deceiving the girls.The mobile phone cameras are used for taking rape scenes and uploading in the internet.
You have correctly said that as technology grows so does danger.
Thanks for the admiring review.

[Marie]

You are welcome. I did not know the mobile phone was used that way; I thought danger came only from the Internet.

[zainul]

Marie,we are considered fool by so called smart people around us.
They can do all nasty work for their benefit.

nice one "z" I wanted to read more.......make the poem longer :)

[zainul]

Thanks a lot,John.
I wanted to confine it as a sonnet in 14 lines.
Please imagine a story from this content.

Sad dear friend:( But portrayed well, and draws out the emotion of sorrow for the girl. Thank you for sharing.

[zainul]

Thank you, Priscilla for the great review.
You are also appreciated for being sad for the betrayed girl.
Did you ever find such case of cheating and betrayal among known people?
How do the girl or their families cope up with such situation?

[Priscilla Sayers]

NO. I have never quite encountered it, amongst a true love, but when the thought of love is offered and stolen it causes the same effect on a person. Everyone deals differently with any situation, but the strong, they move on....

[zainul]

Thanks for sharing.
Yea,I agree that everyone deals differently with any situation, but the strong ones move on.

Hi Zainul,
A poignant and cautionary tale of behaviour that invades the new world of the internet and satalite communications. Well portrayed.

[zainul]

Thanks a lot for the admiring review.
You have specifically mentioned about the need of caution against the risk of invasion of the new world by the internet and satalite communications.
Some remedial measures are really necessary on urgent basis.
The frequency and intensity of exploitation of various categories of people are increasing at alarming rates.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Yes but are we powerless against this bursting dam? Do we need to teach our children to swim instead of trying to protect them with shields?

[zainul]

Thanks for the great points.
We are not actually powerless.
We need to teach our children to swim.
We parents should persuade the concerned agencies for imparting security for us all.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

But Zainul we must not confer power to faceless bureaucrats’. We need to prepare the children to be resilliant and strong enough to protect themselves. To have the confidence to understand the world and deal with it on their own two feet.

[zainul]

Yes,I agree with you.
Thank you,John for your convincing arguments.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I am humbled dear friend.

[zainul]

I feel very relaxed when I share with you.
Your poetical philosophy give me strength and confidence.
You are really a very lovely friend of mine,John.
