Slight

Slight


Catching head with both hands
A pedestrian was on footpath
Near, in a mound of sand, 
Slept dog’s slight was

Care free it was no tension alive
A running car dispersed mud 
In its head and tail drops so far
Pedestrian cast an eye and passed

A crow sat and cawed in belly 
May be it was complaining 
Inhuman behave of road 
A class a failure of broadcast

Before onlooker could trace 
The wheel past unwittingly
Poor sleeper could not rest
Even in open air of earth.

A message of slight duty
A care for helpless to save
Denizen should be attentive
Whether his eyes if on drive.

A mere care of towards
Are wheels on right track?
Not bothering walkers on 
In vain grinding teeth towards.
