Resting after pulling pilgrim tourists.
Suranga Date, a friend who saw this photograph on Facebook, had these words to add:
They represent
the feet of some
wishing to pray to
the Powerful Benevolent One,
waiting to receive
some benefits
in their own lifetime.
But unlike
some representatives,
they are abandoned once
the work is done;
they have
no subsidized canteens,
so pensions,
not even free hooves
for self and family,
free water
or even clean lounges.
There's is just
to remain tied
amidst the dirt
while all the yojanas
go full blast
like the AC
exhausting
on the other side...
