As i walk in the temple
i can hear the poor outside
As poverty rages and devotees leave
'Please,i have'nt eaten for days' they cried!
I walk on my way back
having done some good
Giving those people in need
some amount of money and food.
But as i walk, the roads uneven
i suddenly trip on the road
Horns blare behind me in a hurry
and so many abuses are heard!
A kind soul helps me up
and asks, 'Are you fine'
I smile back and nod
as i wipe out dirt and grime!
I am on the main road
and a traffic cop takes a bribe
The motorist mumbles words
hard to describe!
I am about to reach when
a man shouts out
'I am unemployed, i cannot live
as offices push me about'!
I have heard enough and reply
'You should decide better
and see life is sweet, especially
to those,who are go-getters'!
I have come to the place
to vote i have reached
But no body seems there
so no line to be breached!
I am heckled by a man
and back i shout
People gather at my voice
both strong and loud!
I have seen corruption,sexism
unemployment and poverty
And people who notice my eyes
say I CANNOT SEE!
