You Saw Me And Did Not Care. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

I was a beggar whose foot was cut off.
I was the woman whom people called a prostitute.
I was the child on the homeless street.
I was the one who fell on your feet
for a bowl full to eat.

You saw me and did not care.

I was in ragged clothes.
I had no shoes and walked in rain.
I was poor and cried on the road.
I was the school girl who had no books.

You saw me and did not care.

I came to you several times
today knocking at your door.
You were too busy to notice me.

I went away sad from your door.
