One Fine Day
Sitting on the table
waiting for the food
I ordered…..
I looked out of the window….
There he was
carelessly roaming around
Face filled with aimless expression
Then something happened
Someone emptied half finished plates
in to the dustbin…..
His careless look vanished
His weak body was somehow
filled with zest…..
He moved quickly
and picked up the paper plates
from the dustbin…
A look of accomplishment
filled his face……
I wondered why?????????
Then came the answer…
The answer was a blow to my heart…
He just sat on the pavement
and started enjoying this food…
On seeing this
I felt I would puke…
Then I controlled myself….
Just then the waiter came…
Placed my food neatly on the table..
I stared at my food….
Then looked out of the window again…
He was still there…..
Tears filled my eyes
and my legs went numb….
I couldn’t decide what to do…
I was shook by this scene….
Filled with questions
and dilemma…..
Just stood there like a stone
I felt in me not a bone….
We human beings,
How we live different lives
with different priorities…
And total ignorance of
how other people live….
We just know
how to whine…..
Never thankful
Just live thankless lives…….
