THE SWEEPER

EVERYDAY...
I see a sweeper with broom and van

cleaning garbage; Just spick and span.

He is smelly as he wipes the dirt,

faithful to duty, no less an art.

PEOPLE...

On his duty never did praise,

taken him for granted in many ways.

They do not touch; Neither come near,

Cynic! Hypocrite! What an illiterate fear!

CONSCIENCE...

Is tampered in falsehood, nothing new!

I feel sad and sorely hurt. Do you?

THE SWEEPER...

Says, "May the Lord on us be kind,

coz we clean dirt and not their mind."
