On the Footpath ...

On the Footpath ...

1 min
354


Go and see through

The myriads of pains 

Of all helpless people

And their relentless hard toil

Day in and day out

Right on the footpath ...


You can't even imagine

How they survive in this world!

You may be passing by

The footpath now and then ...

With your fast and reckless drive

Towards your work or daily duty

Sans any quality time and space

For those helpless human beings

Who really need your unselfish care

As fellow human beings

Right on the footpath !


You may be in a hurry, as usual, 

To reach your workplace,

Totally forgetting 

All those mere trifles (in your opinion)

That you neglect callously

By the by ...


You may be judging 

This system of today's worldly affairs

Very casually ...

In fact, you are too calculative 

To feel their real situation

Right on the footpath !


So, no casual escapist remarks

On them who dwell helplessly

Right on the footpath !


Sometimes, I do ponder

Why there is a footpath

Without the footprints

Of humanity and equality ...

I really find it impossible to 

Accept that the wealth and fortune

Detach today's people 

From humanity and honesty --

The two rarest qualities

In today's perspective.


Yes, I do find myself in total dilemma

As and when, I, too, step cautiously 

Right on the footpath !


Isn't it the borderline

Of total discrimination

Right on the footpath ... ?

Isn't it a distorted image 

Of the so-called society

In today's perspective,

Right on the footpath ...??


I just ponder again and again

Even after I leave the footpath ...

Still my good heart dwells helplessly,

Right on the footpath ...
