Walking On The Road

Walking on the road,
I asked the road
Dear road where do you go?
Where is your end, what is your aim?

Don’t you feel pain?
Crushed by so many feet
Don’t you feel ashamed?
Are you satisfied?
I feel so proud that me to is crushing you

Replied the road politely, humbly, gently
It’s my honor that I show the people their way
I make them reach their destination
At least I have an aim
What about you, you crushed me, you are crushing, you will crush

What about your humanity
Are you ever guilty?
Yes being crushed I am satisfied
I am busy day till night

I do not take it as a plight
And God is my guide
But tell me truly are you satisfied
I had no answer to reply
And I was quiet.
