left behind.


a billion footsteps of progress,
a generation of newly rich;
multitudes of material fancy,
an insatiable appetite for change.
hordes of the youthful hungry,
with fire in their bellies;
crazed rush towards opportunities,
a single mindedness amidst it all

and
the lone flutist by the street
on a hot dusty busy weekday afternoon
left behind by the winds of time.
