At a signal
Pollution Level Recorded : 213, Allowed Limit : 50 ( Puneites, we are choking to death)
Tattered, soiled clothes, an equally dirty hand extended, how old must she be? 6 years old probably
We ignore, like we always do, don't we, defiantly looking the opposite way, anywhere else but not at her
Obstinate, standing her ground, so what if it is 9:30 pm when no six year old should be alone on the roads
10 seconds to the signal, simultaneous vrrooms, engines being brought to life
she doesn't move, isn't she scared of being run over?
We leave her behind, soot on her body and her clothes

Like most would say,what would a few more dents matter to a battered soul anyway


I sometimes hate myself for being, not indifferent, but so passive. Planning to do something about this.
