Often we have to confront such sad spectacles.... so touching and heart rending! Even if a few are compassionate and willing to part with something, how it is going to help the multipling number of mouths to be fed! As Dinesh has stated, a radical change alone can improve the situation when such gross disparities exist! A moving write Geetha!

Harsh realities and human goodness often have this clash. We give alms to odd beggars or offer amount as a part of charity at times. But what can we do here Geetha? The system has to change. We live in India where 80 percent of wealth is with 20 percent of people and vice versa. Human empathy has a limit and we need an overall change in the form of economic and social reforms. Thank you for having come out with a poem carrying a message.

True! It is a regular scenario in our? country. But who is to take responsibility to eradicate this? Politicians want the poverty to continue!

Thank you! A very true poem which brought tears to my eyes. If we don't do something to change the system of this world we will have no kids tomorrow. It is so painful to think about children going to sleep hungry, but with cold shivers I am shaken when I am thinking of tomorrow....We are killing our earth at a speed never touched before. I cannot imagine the world 30 years from now other than changed....
