While I was walking, I noticed that there was a drain flowing by the road side. It was completely filled to its brim and all sort of plastic materials like plastic cups etc from nearby road-side fast-food vendors were floating over it. The water of the drain was completely black, indicating that its water did not flow to anywhere but had got decayed while hanging in there. It was a pathetic sight. The only blessing was that it did not produce any bad smell to the pedestrians; I wonder why not.
Slightly ahead, I saw a stray dog drinking the same black sewer water. It was just standing there and sipping the surface of water through its tongue. I felt so bad for it. What other options would the stray dog have when it felt thirsty? Then I remembered the stray cows and stray bulls who live by the big trash pot on the road side, eating all the garbage. And this is common scene in our country!
Why God, why have you made such an imperfect world! So many living beings die of hunger, so many of thirst, and so many of polluted water! As humans, we have done pretty bad job on earth, it seems.
