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)
