(44) Plus In Minus

(44) Plus in Minus
In a broad daylight of robbery and rapacious plunder,
of man and materialistic objects,
amidst Mammoth rally and Mammon-worship,
like meat -eating and convivial merriment
and jubilation in adjoining burial ground of cremation,
I wander lonely as a lone walker,
yet jostled by the motley crowd,
of wearing many a mysterious look and attitudes:
A rag picker carrying his pouch—his booty,
his mouth humming a light tune reflecting his plenty,
moving along, speeding along, ekes out his livelihood,
sees much in the minus of his existence.
He sang: the deceased had affluence
but affected by all sorts of social evils,
also afflicted by uncommon disease.
He a rag-picker- a pauper, not a debtor,
A free walker ---yet a rag picker,
happy with his waiting wife, playful wards
perceives plus in the minus of his life.
