DUST
I’m
the dust particle beneath the Sky-
The
most negligible and the most insignificant;
Wherever
I may travel or wherever I may lie,
I’m
never ever boastful, conceited and arrogant.
Oh!
I’m ever crushed under the relentless feet
Either
of man or of the beast tiny and giant;
I’m,
however, never found in life reactive or hesitant
Whenever
on the path of the Earth affliction and I meet.
I’m
ever unmindful of the worldly joy or sorrow,
But,
an everlasting truth that I do always tell:
All
the worldly beings now, today or tomorrow
Will
undeniably get mingled with me without fail.
Impoverished,
I’m unable to speak a sentence,
I’m never ever considered trustworthy or reliant;
Notwithstanding, my head like a Mother tolerant
Is exceptionally skilled at absorbing all the stress.
All
the expeditions and evolutions since the dawn of creation, I
Have
been watching with my eyes unblinking and vigilant;
I’m
the dust particle beneath the Sky-
Deemed ever most negligible and reckoned most insignificant.
