That is their Fault

I do not know for how long

I am standing here,

alone all by myself

All are shamelessly coming and going

just in my front, to and fro and fro and to

I can not help

It is their fault.

 

At times somebody stops

Looks at me

askingly,perplexed,

and casts a giddy frown

nose curled eye brow upped?

I can not help

It is their fault

 

 

I can not understand

The passersby's wantonness

the scandalous carelessness

their sheer idiocy

What to me that's their fault

 

Finally some vagabond

hurtled to me with impunity

asked me why my dress is no more

my body is bare

the hair disheveled

the chest bone is nakedly visible

I exclaimed,

looked to me

more closely, intimately

Is it to be ashamed of?

After all it is not me

Not at all I swear

It is their fault
