On the city’s roads …..by Aishwarya
On the city roads,
Against the blaring horns,
With each vehicle nudging past another as if running an unknown race,
Moving an inch seems nothing short of a struggle,
The flow of these serpentine line of vehicles boggle,
Start and end seem they’d topple,
As two wheelers zip past,
And pedestrians hastily cross,
Every hour is a busy hour,
Clocking a minute earlier than the previous day,
Is nothing short of a champion’s victory.
On the city roads,
Accelerating the vehicle forward safely is a worth a sight,
Even though ostriches burying their head is a myth,
I wouldn’t think twice to do the same and travel underground,
That’s when I got an idea to build my house askew to easily access Earth beneath,
To avoid the busy brightly lit city roads.

Remember you said ‘dictatorship is good - to meet a goal’. You made a choice in that moment - to be walked upon, to become irrelevant, to write someone else’s story, to fulfil someone else’s dream.
