the rail shines 

when sun's rays fall on it 

the surroundings, stark

un-cleansed, the rodents run

helter skelter

Finding bits of leftover

or fighting with the ravens 

a little dog lies there

its fur eaten by disease 

it licks it's bloody wound 

stricken by the hunger 

the bones shows out 

in a distance i hear a sound 

and i see the dog run to safety 

Limping, on its three legs

the platform becomes crowded 

souls run in hurry

i guess the time is taking them

and not vice versa 

as i step onto the comforts of my seat 

Easily i forget the dog that 

limped 

yes, time is a teacher 

as i learn today from the grown dog 

at the platform 

he limps, but, not bothered by the ravens 

he is not the victim 

now, he decides who eats!

i was depressed today 

i lost all that i held precious 

even my hope 

now, when i see that dog 

he barks at me and says 

"hey, you are the one who drives the situation, don't let it ride over you!"

then, i find the divine plan 

that taught me to learn from the ants 

right beside me!

yea, even a limping dog 

can cheer me up!
