Difference

Daya Nikahetiya

The day is over, he is fully satisfied
Today he was lucky to find
a full course diner,
from a garbage container
....nearby McDonald
Nothing to bother no to worry about
Now it is his resting time
His mind is switched-off
The begging bowl is lying upside down.

This is his shelter....
bedroom and residence
He sleeps soundly,
under the highway bridge
Nothing to protect no to secure
....need not safety-locks
No need for sound-barriers
No sound can break this stillness
His ears are soundproof!

Over the same bridge, it's another world
Red and blue lights...
Screaming siren-sounds
Red-cross, police and fire-brigade
The road is blocked from both sides
All over chaos...hectic and loud
A brand new Ferrari ran out of its track,
and collided with a pile of other vehicles
Thanks God...no one was seriously hurt!

The Ferrari owner is a man of means
His suite was covered with oil and blood
This day brought him only miss-fortune
He lost some millions,
due to fall in stock markets
His own brother got a sudden heart-attack,
All those bad news hit on his nerves
He lost his balance....
and met with this accident!

It is the same bridge...but in between
there is such a big difference
Over the bridge every thing in panic
The same under calm and quiet
Still he sleeps soundly....
not knowing what is happing above
Nothing to bother ...no to worry about
His ears are soundproof
.....the mind is switched-off
The begging bowl is lying upside down!
