Sonu Theresa Shaji Poet Free verse

I see no shelter

I see no shelter,
while I move past the crowds,
eager to put down the burden,
weighed upon my shoulders.

I see no shelter,
to quench my undying thirst,
in the scorching heat of loneliness, 
that shrivel up my hopes.

I see no shelter, 
to hide from the sun's flare,
that blinds my sight,
hindering my journey ahead.

For all I see are men,
hastening around me,
waiting for none but for themselves, 
among the ravening.
