Streetstrummer





Streetstrummer

_____________


Eyes shut,fingers on guitar strings


The streetstrummer with his soul sings


Of the faraway lands he'll never see


With inward feelings his heart sings


Of the birds,bees,trees and springs


The wonderful things that nature brings


He's poor,yet wise - but stone blind


Pay him a rupee he'll call you kind

Guitar Poem

What a tribute to the musician trying to earn an honets living. I hope that many are generous to the poor man and that he makes anought to be able to have a roof over his head and a full belly. Bern

Respected Mate Mr Bern Sir.. I didn't expect you to read this

Respected Mate Mr Bern Sir.. I didn't expect you to read this .Thank you for your precious time. No ... he doen't have enough to live by but he has something like a shed to protect him from rain and sun.Yes he's blessed with frugal yet full-tummy meal twice a day.Oh Mr Bern.. so many of them.Some beg on local trains holding two small pieces of slate and striking them together for "music" singing praise of Gods & Goddesses of Hindu scriptures.Not that all of them have very appealing voices but at least the bored commuters hear God's name & are at peace.Off late they use some electronic contraption (a singalong) with music track. There is so much to see and so much yet to see in this huge huge  country of a thousand cultures.India vibrates on its own frequency.~Your nutty mate of worldnext~
