Mesmerizing Boatman

Varanasi life on the ghats

 

He floats you up and down the Ganga ...

Let's mesmerize with him :

 

What wonders me most in India,

certainly here in Varanasi

that respires a withered glory,

is the aphaty of the rich

towards 80% of the poor,

hiding himself in his fortress

or fleeing away from it

denying his responsibilty

not aware that

he will have to pay the bill,

hoping that the poor

will maintain their traditions

of believing in their fate,

lucky still having their richness in their heart.

 

The level of a culture

should be mesured by the way

it takes care of the deprived,

not really by

worldwonders produced by savagism.

The killings by economical wars

still goes on, that's humanity .....

Happy Easter !
