sweating in sweltering heat
sheltered in the scanty shade
I left my mind to wander around!
Out of nowhere, a frail voice
the clanking of coins and
a tug at my clothes shook
me out of my short reveries!
Standing in front, a tiny tot
clad in tatters, hair unkempt
dust and ditch applied all over
prayed for alms with gullible face!
Repelled by the grubby sight
reasoned by my intellectual mind
I drove away the little brat
waving hands, wording nothingness!
As the hapless soul headed away
the bulky wallet inside my pocket -
stuffed with coins and wads of green -
sulked, saddled by saddening guilt!
31st January '12
