V P Mahur Poet Blank verse

That Is Humanity 4

Standing by the roadside shade
Waiting in attention
For my bus
To reach quickly
To my routine destination
I happened to see
In the other direction
An old blind man
With a rough walking rod
Waiting to cross the road
Filled with speedy vehicles
And fast moving leg muscles
No one had cared 
For his little moments
To be spared 
For that helpless creature
All were worried
Only for their own future
I too tried to be unknown
To his moan
But all of a sudden
Something held my hand
And unknowing I turned
Towards him with a certainty
That was none but humanity
