What happens 
to those
who, as kith and kin
have no one?

When they die
does anyone cry?

While walking on the highway today, I came across two bodies lying on the sides. Crushed by probably speeding vehicles, the bodies had no claimants. And why would there be any? The bodies were not that of humans but of animals, a dog and a cow. 

Whenever I travel on the highway, I don't know why, the thought often comes to my mind. It is not only about animals but even humans. Who cares for those who have no one to go to? What happens to those lives which struggle alone and one day leave the world without anyone remembering them?

Do we then consider ourselves lucky that at least we have a support system of people around us, who do think about us and care? But how does it matter when the reality is everyone leaves the world alone.
