A Billionaire Bus Porter

The typical appeal and urge of the bus porter
Calling and reminding of stops big and small  
In a voice - loud, irritating, cracking reporter 
He's lin body, skinny, double bent but was tall 

He's worn-torn dress- T-shirt, holed half pant
A dirty ripped angocha wrapp'd around his neck.
Commanding all road-mates for safety-hunt
He's hung like the Albatross at the gate-check

Not kill'd but left surviving for his role
Who hid him from Him and His blessings?
Gray haired seems going to graveyard, the goal
Humanity should go for his wound dressings!

With sunken eyes, hollow cheeks, a poor soul,
 Look'd suck'd but still brisk in getting on and off.
His heart is holy as he's out of holding the whole 
He celebrates his trips as if he earns more than enough.

Shocking my eyes he shared his coins to a beggar 
Where many of us, the earners gave ignorance 
Some seem'd silent to her cry like that of an egger 
The power of the porter lies in his soul, the endurance.

Some silently call'd her cunning for her false poverty 
Some blam'd her of picking pockets and being a millionaire 
Her husband was a drunkard, now dying a death so dirty 
My soul stood to salute the porter, a real billionaire !
