A ROAD-SIDE DWELLER
She was young but her body said otherwise
Tender hands were long gone, only rough patches remained
her efforts were not clandestine and vision had become bleak
She looked at her child sleeping quietly
and then set to explore her luck
Tender hands were long gone, only rough patches remained
her efforts were not clandestine and vision had become bleak
She looked at her child sleeping quietly
and then set to explore her luck
Who was she?
A road-side dweller, trying to earn square meal for the sole child of hers
many a vehicle’s passed and mocked her sanity
many a person looked at her, showing no humanity
but very few did care to hold a thought for her suffering
but then again, all this made her believe she was disdain
She gasped for every penny, that we usually throw away
collecting litters in the meantime, hoping to meet her luck
that had eluded her for such a longueur
but still her fellow compeer’s told her to have faith
she smiled at herself and at others
collecting litters in the meantime, hoping to meet her luck
that had eluded her for such a longueur
but still her fellow compeer’s told her to have faith
she smiled at herself and at others
Yet, another day passed without earning a single penny
she cherished, the long forsaken dream, which she saw
And along with it slowly dipped her child in the still water
just to watch her new-born gasping for breath and tears said the same,
and she cried and whispered, “In some other world we will meet,
this world is much broken for you, it can’t be repaired.”
And after this, she herself jumped in the water, unceremoniously but peacefully
and yet the newspaper read, “Road-side dweller, kills one’s son and then in shame, does the same.”
And yet, no one could care less about the several reasons unknown…….
