Written by Anuradha Chelliah
We, in the same boat?
are you sure?
no, no… never.
you with a big car, me just my two legs
your big house and my little rented room
five meals a day and a struggle for a single one
small family and few mouths to feed
big family with many mouths to feed
your pockets are full, mine is struggling for a penny
expensive clothes daily; new clothes once in a while
are we still in the same boat?
no never
our boats are different in the sea
rough and tough
bumpy and uneven
challenges and turbulence
teaching you and me great lessons in life
that, we are yet to appreciate.
