No Hands


No   Hands
He  rides  fast, good rider,
With   Determination,  craft in hands
Two wheels  propelling  ever his
Gamut -  all for  a  training for race;
Leading for speed up in bike
To fetch water in  plastic vessels
In times of dire necessity and
drought  from hamlet to hamlet
while the inmates of  old plastered
house  wait in anxiety, and grandma
walking with  a stick   adjusting her
thick glasses and rim over her hanging
ears  and   measuring time   by the  sun
transcending to the Western horizon.

Careless of Calamity and Death
Possible     evil knocking him down,
 He drives faster and faster. Mind and
Soul  always competing with  self
Flying away, does he think of his
Wife  and children and kith
Dependent upon him.  Spirit
Runs   faster than logic. Still  his
Hands on;  no hands but will only
Competes, downward his journey.
