HIDEOUT

 




HIDEOUT

 

Resonate name and fame, surprised,

Man of outstanding courage, prized,

Root was rustic, innocent life, life-driven,

Poverty, illiteracy, hard-working liven, (1)

 

Given poultry payment families suffer,

Downtown, a slum shanty in hunger,

His life anonymous face coolie dark,

Carrying bags in road traffic mark, (2)

 

One of the thousand laborers living,

Scantly paid, festive moods singing,

Surprised, moneyless, lacks future,

Can't say if he dreamed gold usher, (3)

 

Happy each day early dawn moves,

His trolley hard work coins grooves,

Fate comes to reveal in front suddenly,

Saved a human wounded lo fatally, (4)

 

Severe accident he was dying cried,

The trolley owner transported decided,

Nearby best hospital knew the victim,

Informed his family of action esteem, (5)

 

Sooner, the victim treated survived,

The trolley owner rewarded arrived,

Refused to take money with his life,

Elaborated his village life city strife, (6)

 

Few accolades and money mean nothing,

His life survived, family everything,

He was a poor man who got praised,

All were in tears, thanked him, greeted, (7)

 

The industrialist asks for his wishes,

No gratitude he got his life relishes,

Wanted for the gift of life, unforgettable,

A property he wanted transferable, (viii)

 

Free with maintenance support nit,

The trolley driver replied, definite,

Visits from the village love nature a lot,

City life in slum poverty hard effort, (9)

 

Suffering his wife, unhappy children,

Sold his house in the village, smitten,

The wealthy man, the family head, relied,

Disclosed his hideout, flees replied, (10)

 

That saves from business pressure,

Commitments meetings, he assures,

Hideout a savior for his life he built,

His family to visit recluse time greet, (11)

 

Requested to be a caretaker, lifetime,

His savior, the fitting job, a gift define,

The abode in the nature let him stay,

With his wife as a caretaker far away, (12)

 

The man promised to bear the cost, sock,

For the children, their study, no joke,

The trolley man was in tears, he believed,

Accepted a proposal happy, relieved, (13)

 

This will happen in his life realities,

Not a dream never dared to abilities,

Sacred, fortune fate, may vanish, a lie,

But God graces, who saves life defy, (14)

 

He became the caretaker of a hideout,

His slum with news families shout,

Jubilation migrates to nature couple.   

Their children stay in a hostel school. (15)
