An Old Man By Jagtar Gill


An old man wears shabby cloths
feel humiliated
coming out from railway station gate.
Old man carrying inferior satchel.
The poor old man
was seeking to pilgrimage of holly places.
Because he heard that
government provided facility of
free travel on holly places for poor.
But he didn’t know that
only those can get this facility
who have approach to minister and officers.
Being poor is not a condition.
This poor old man doesn’t introduce

with any powerful politician.
He had been suffered from this like situation
when his crop was ruined in flood disaster
And revenue officer told him that
he was not listed by government
to get compensation.
Life always imposed him
under worsen conditions.
Poor man doesn’t have approach to
powerful politician.
So he was always returned
sans his social rights.
