I look with awe at worn out gnarled hands of a help
How well have they have served their master!
Mesmerised am I by a doctors hands gone coarse with formaldehyde
How many lives saved they have!
Go green do I by matured hands of an elder woman
How many mouths have they satiated!
Watch with disbelief at hands of young village girls
who finish with alacrity a hundred tasks!
Smitten by love am I by small tender hands
which raise only to touch with love
but.....
swept with pity am I by delicate manicured hands
which know only to look pretty and nothing else
