Vijay Sai - The Caterpillar

Women reaping rich harvests
Men ploughing bullock carts
Cattles grazing paddy fields
Birds flocking banyan trees
Storks feeding on fishes
Found on ponds
Full of water hyacinth
Frogs making merry sounds
Sun stealing between twin mountains
Rain drops falling
And making colourful garland
All these and many more spectacles
You have seen each and every day
Crawling like a caterpillar
Rattling like a snake
You travel through different destinations
You bring different people together
You have seen no difference in caste or creed
You have taught us to be in harmony
We are proud to say
We have learnt a lesson from you
Life is a journey
No one can stop in one destination for so long.

*The caterpillar running in this poem is a train which bring different people together, teaching us harmony and being united.
