Traffic on road:

 

 

Traffic on road:

 

Speeding vehicles, two wheelers

and bikes some with horns rule-bound,

mostly siren less, as if capturing some fort,

taking some to remote village of rickshaws

 

pulled by hard workers, carrying some

heart hardened by money and calculation

with scant respect for human  fellow feelings

and bargaining not knowing  labor of legs ;

 

cars  and share  autos plying slow

giving and waiting for passengers,

mutual give and take in policy and practice.

 Elsewhere mechanical life  plundering peace .

 

In the middle of narrow road, zig zag

and meandering, bent downward cow,

unmindful of anger and gesture hurled

still eating a piece of paper,  who knows

 

some unpublished poem or published

now torn into pieces, by housewives,

why cattle and cow should know your

creativity when belly pinches hard;

 

life’s fulcrum on the move, move,

city’s risk and rig morale, a challenge

to face despite motors and mindless

on the heels when you still wait.
