The Body and The Soul


Today I saw a pair of feet,

That walked with comfort on the heaps of junk.

Today I saw a pair of hands,

Without hassle, it picked gravels and sand.

Today I saw a pair of eyes,

The dilemma in them was a painful sight.

Today I saw a pair of ears,

Nothing gloomy was left for them to hear.

Today I saw a pair of shoulders,

Flimsy as if loaded with boulders.

Today I saw a pair of lungs,

But no freedom was there to breathe.

Today I saw a pair of cheeks,

Just a smile was missing to be seen.

Today I saw a body of a human,

Just a human soul, was I not able to glimpse.

a smile is never taken as a sign of speech... and its kind of retarded we are talking like this when we are online on the messenger... which is undoubtedly a more efficient mean of communicating...

You sure like to do senseless things! ;)
And an expression of smile, instead of giving me an answer is confusing me!!??!!??!!
