Nobody Saw Him

After a week when rain stopped,
Life came back in its normal position,
People moved to gain their needs,
But water was still standing on the roads.

A person in white clothes was going,
He saw a child also is going in front,
Unfortunately, he slipped his foot,
And fell down in a moat.

He was crying for help,
But a person didn’t care for him, 
Passing away as he didn’t hear him,
Again and again he is watching his dress.

Next morning he was still in bed,
Some one was weeping bitterly, 
He heard a noise and got up quickly,
He saw out side there was a gathering.

His wife and children was also weeping,
He came down and saw his nephew had died,
Last night he fell into a ditch and broke his leg,
Nobody saw him, he died in the water.
