In the scorching son
he breaks stones into pieces
to earn livelihood for his family
and does not stop his journey
until the sun sets
in the unending horizon
then spends the whole dark night
watching galaxy of stars in the milky sky
waits for the next morning
to begin his tiresome day again
homelessness and poverty
are his well-wishers
his children are never
blessed with colorful dreams
nor born with silver spoon
in their mouth
and one day these destitute and
unfortunate children of nature
will also start their journey
by breaking stones on road
to live a miserable and poor lives
how long this process will continue
even almighty god may not know
and this endless journey
will never tire
to train next generation
