Speechless



I had been to sandy riverbank
And asked how do they feel when they glitter in the sun.
I had been to the sea
And asked how do they feel when the wave progresses on and on.
I had been to the tree
And asked how do they feel when they swing in the wind.
I had been to the footpath dweller
And didn't ask how they feel while sleeping on the roadside.
I merely questioned the almighty
Why do thou bring them on this earth if thou do not have any care.
The God did not say a word either.
