I was simply down the street.
The broken stones of the road
whisper unspoken messages,
of how many human feet have crossed the road.
Of how many broken wings
would have fallen off this road;
Babies crying for milk
people starving at the signal
stories of so many people
stretched before my eyes.
I’m the beggar who owns the flute
only the flute
who sings the language of these men.
