Duty, Dignity and Divinity



Dressed smart and trendy, he looks neat!
Standing atop a mound of garbage
Collected early morning from every street,
Nonchalant of the dirt and stench in his carriage.

Blows his whistle breathlessly without a stop
Until streams of women, men and kids emerge
With the bins brimming with waste on top.
He checks before dumping it on the edge.

Unmindful of the dirt smitten shoes
He continues his job relentlessly until
Everyone has left with their empty bins of refuse
Then starts his rickety auto to do the next fill.

Acceptance of duty in its true dignity
Serves best to please the sacred heart of divinity!
