same days to those who need it - old man

it's was sunny outside

everything was fine

for me it was another normal day

walking into next interval of time

 

For me past and present is different 

but for somebody it was same

with a hope of same till the end 

 

he was old 

maybe in his 50s

shivering like he saw death

since he was 20 

for him each day 

no, for him each and every minute 

is a time of just passing

passing his days

 

we head back to home

waiting for somone to reach

looked like he had no one

nothing to move on in his life

he said "i didn't eat anything

             since two days now

             can you give me something"

couldn't give him anything to eat 

just gave him 20 rupees

 

thought of him keep entering into my mind

asking, does he deserve something?

my life as compare to him

i have something, will keep moving 

but for him "  life is a waste 

                     living alone without any name  

                    and counting the stars with empty ache "

 

told" i gave just 20 rupees"

got replied " stupid, you needed to give only 2 rupees"

well the world got changed a bit

kindness has lost a bit 

but this bit makes a lot difference

in this world of loneliness

 

 what you think you can give to him?

forget atleast one time your taste of your tongue 

and think about a person who standing beside you

no one stands with him

with those eyes he was trying

to make you see this lonely world
