// COMPASSION IS ..... //

"Every time I went to the train station

 to buy goods,I would see him,

 quietly sitting by the corner. 

He wouldn't be begging. 

I heard a few people say that one day 

he just arrived 

there and has been there since.

 He would eat what the nearby shop-owners 

offered. 

So one day, I went to talk to him, 

but he didn't answer much. 

He would just utter a few words.

I felt sorry for him. 

So I decided to take him home. 

I tried to find out where he is from but 

no one knew so I assume he has wandered

 a long way. 

It has been six years now and I and my family

 take care him.

 He has become family.

 And we worry if he wanders too far." 

(Sanjay Yadav, Alau Kuniya, Parsa)
