An Old Lady

By Lakshmi C

Yesterday I was crossing the road,

I saw an old lady, sitting near the lighting pole.

A young man came near her,

and she started to scream in fear,

and a lot of pain in her voice that was not clear,

Please don’t hit me, please don’t. 

Hearing this the man just walked as if he won’t.

But the fear won’t lie,

The pain doesn’t hide.

How cruel of me, knowing the fact and yet chose to

Walk away right.

And now, its in my head is she Alright?
