This is a poem one of my very dear friend wrote...i wanted you to read it too....i wanted to say LOVE YOU KANI !!
The empty cans lay beside,
Struggling to fight her tears she lied –
“ kid, wait for some more time,
And then together we all will dine”….
A man stood looking from the door,
Emotions breaking inside him like a furore…
Fighting all day to earn his bread,
All endeavors useless, all efforts dead….
His ears heard the cry of his child,
His heart tore apart in pain,
He wished he was deaf, wished he was blind,
Helpless, frustrated, he felt insane….
On street outside a beggar begs,
With distorted body and crippled legs…
Trying to walk on his knees in the sides,
A countless times he falls, he collides….
A countless times did he bump into people,
A countless times he led out moaning cries…
Listening to all abuses and curses of people…
A countless times he curses his own life….
A business tycoon passes by in his posh car..
Work, meetings, oppulence n luxury..is all his life about so far…
They say he has climbed up the ladder of success…
For him at the top, theres only desperation n loneliness…
The signal flashes red light,
A little girl appears around the road side…
Barefoot, on coarse road she shows her gymnastic art,
Destitution is what makes her do such craft…
Envious of the girl who gazed at her from her car..
She wished to study, and be at par…
Her childhood fragmented, innocence dead..
She works all day to earn herself some bread…
An old man stands in the sweltering heat,
Striving hard to barely walk on his feet,
The wrinkled face, shivering body, painful eyes deprived of hope,
On the brink of deathbed, he stands abandoned by his kids at home…
Enduring disparaging comments and condescending looks…
A prostitute struggles to find her way among these crooks…
She is only human, the world forgets…
Its this very world that has made her life full of regrets…
They detest her as a social disgrace…
Condemn her, ridicule her, throw insults on her face…
The woman in her desires love and affection…
..a small happy family and a life of veneration…
Life has become so barren and abject…
Everyone’s so desolate, so wretched..
The woman who wants to feed her child..
A job that the man is unable to find…
The beggar struggling hard to exsist..
The old man looking for some support to subsist…
The tycoon with everything ..yet he’s empty..
The small girl longing for her childhood to return..
The prostitute wanting to restore back her life..
Everyone is so lost, running in frenzy…
Grappling to escape and find ways…
What has the world come to today…
Wondering…..whose fault is it ,anyways????
