Analysis of Two Young Devotional Boys
Two young boys,
seemingly at same age,
work since morning to evening,
even under the sun rage!
They work and work
never deny any!
They work in silent
even on a day of rainy!
I don't know if they go to temple
to worship deities
but I know
they worship their duties.
When people are afraid
and confined in rooms.
They are sweeping dust
with their brooms!
When panic people go out
with masks.
The boys using their scythe
only to cut grasses!
I behold
and meditate,
neither science nor medicines,
only God is piloting their fate.
