He..the Indian shepherd..

I don't know what his name is..
Also I don't want to know..
For whom lives are irrelevant..
names don't means anything at all..


He was black in color..
With watery red eyes ..
With a single-buttoned yellow shirt..
..Dancing in the wind,exposing his sun burnt skin...
With an umbrella tied to the shoulder..
..Having more transparency than opaqueness..
With a body stuffed of bulging skeleton...
..Suitable for a medical student for easy experiments...

He was the Indian shepherd...
Whom I found with a lot of sheeps and cows...
Whom I found under that fierce sun..
..Striving to win bread for his mother...
One thing common for him and them (the cows and sheeps)...
...The bulging skeleton through the skin...

I am wondering ..My shepherd,about You...
Do you know you are an Indian...?
..The last one of that 100 crores...
Sorry ..do you know India..?
..the nation stepping up in nuke deals..
..The nation upgrading itself in IT revolutions...
(..Don't worry this is a blood less revolt..)
..The nation spending millions for buying F-16s....
..The nation where companies started marketing oxygen itself...
..The nation where poverty is corporatised...

I know you don't know these..
Also I know you don't want to know..
For whom lives are irrelevant..
knowledge don't means anything at all...
