Walking on the edge of a river

English Translation – Swathi Sreepada

Telugu original written by – Dr.C.Bhavani Devi

Value

Why earning, loosing entire life
Only to get catering and
Interior decorations?
With vast palaces … pubs…raves
How long to capture,
And who is spreading the net?

Can you remember what we had
yesterday? Do you know what raids on
you tomorrow? Though we may not be
there,
Everything will be the same for
tomorrow, At least a day for us , can
anyone give ?

Leave the happiness in earning
Slip discs and umpteen number of
diseases Are infinite
When our name is but temporary
On any property document
The entire earning being looted
When goes to corporate hospitals ….
If the calendar and the date
Are paused a minute
If we can greet each other cordially
The helping friendship
Responsibility of working
Mind seeks forgiveness
Though separated, the dreams never fall
With our photos we can tell children that
“These are the important days in my life”
