"And I could do nothing.."

( We can change nothing but ourselves.. )

I found a baby dumped in a bin..
a girl she was-was her only sin..
Wrapped in a cloth, she lay n cried..
n all i could say-'dear i tried'..

I met a boy, young in his teens..
hazy he looked like a worn out jeans..
A victim of bullying he was,i suppose..
to run away, was all he'd propose...
Abused n beaten up,in the rain he cried..
n all i could say-'dear i tried'..

The other day,noticed some guys in an alley..

whistling at a girl from down the valley..

Tantrums n abuses everyday she faced..
avoiding their shadows steadily she paced..
Tired of harassment she cried in the sun
n all i could say-'i tried a ton'..

A few years further a lady back of my house..
was badly thrashed by her beloved spouse..
Next day she was put ablaze on fire..
n all i did - stare the burning pyre..

The whole world crashed before my eye..
n i just stood with grief n sigh..

Why i did nothing when it mattered??
why is everything down n shattered??

Now, beside her grave, desperate, i cried..
but a voice said,"at-least you tried"..

We can't change a thing unless we change ourselves..
n you can't change a thing but just yourselves..

Nothing in there was really mine...
i never owned a single dime
All i could change was my soul n mind..
that i could say was actually mine...
