Hey Mina.
This is a very vivid and profound write.
Congrats on the Bronze!

oh gosh....
that's such a sad image... and yet so artistic... ..
but it sure is a striking statement to be whipped across societies... it's like nature has a better heart towards humans than their own species... to be filling the beggar's bowl at least of water he can drink if not anything else...
a deeply moving image. well done! congrats on the bronze!

The backdrop is so apt - it brings out the pathos of the poem -read in the literal sense

It's a profound image and statement of society itself you've written into these three lines, Mina. This haiku is thought-provoking, and great background choice as well.
Thank you so much for this entry to the contest!

I always like this form of poetry and it's not easy to create a good Haiku. But, this is just amazing. I could feel the Haiku. Kudos to your writing skills.

Oh, this is so sad. It reminds me of learning about the cast system and how horrible it is. I am truly blessed to live in America!
