Missing Person where did you go??

Saw him tired but walking from very far,
Worst in condition like a prisoner of war,
Blanket in hand and torn fiber over the meat,
Seemed a beggar, barefooted in the heat,
Scorching sun and body in sweat,
Water was elixir, if he could get...

Exhausted, on parapet of resort he seated,
Seeing him a gardener got agitated,
Showing no humanity from inside,
Gardener poured water on him with might,
Body drenched and blanket was wet,
At that night how could he have slept ?..

Depth of despair broke him into cry,
Tears fell in abundance from his eye,
Without looking back, not even talking,
Drenched, wet eyed old man started walking,
His heart playing symphony of agony,
Mercy shall fall on such brutality...

Whole sight was satanic and eyesore,
That pain painted on core of my soul,
I am tormented by the nightmares,
Searching for a question unclear,
Missing Person where did u go??
Are you alive? I don't know...
