| JUST TODAY! | |

In India, there's a tribe, who really have nothing to own - home, property or else anything really valuable. They work as labours on a daily basis and sleep wherever they find work. I have captured the essence of this tribe as I have watched them very carefully over the years of my existence. I know, it will be very difficult to digest my views on this very special tribe, who are the happiest people in the world. The poem is dedicated to this tribe. JUST TODAY They really don’t even care about tomorrow As they get ready for today They wait for their master of today Knowing well, they will get some work to do Bare minimum are their necessities Barely are they clad in clothes from head to toes With a will to excel for today Their smiles brighten their day Husband, wife and children Live their lives fearlessly Toiling all day long in hot sun Their sweat earns enough for today In between the breaks They relish their meals with contentment While children play with abandonment Their parents work selflessly With really nothing to possess or desired Seldom will you see such a happy content family They work, smile and spend the day As the sun comes down to celebrate their feast With a handful of money for their day’s work They buy their food for the day Singing and cooking with happiness They celebrate the night as if there is no tomorrow As they sleep instantaneously Darkness engulfs them in loving embrace It is sheer magical moments As they live for just today!
