Overtaking Times


Driving on a road infected with traffic,
Travelling within an overcrowded train;
Hanging out of an overloaded bus,
Speeding our bike, ruining a pedestrian’s cloth with a spit of drain…

Cutting through our co-drivers lane,
Overstepping our co-passenger for a windowpane;
Getting into the crowd with push & pain,
Screaming, abusing and behaving insane…

0 –100(kmph) within a split second,
Riding through the lanes with a skew;
Broad, narrow, with slopes or bend,
Piercing out our vehicle through trucks extra-large two…

Are we doing this to buy some time,
Are we doing this to get into the light lime;
Are we doing this to impress a girl sitting behind,
Are we doing this to kill a pedestrian who’s kind…

What do we gain, what do we skip,
What do we kill, what do we rip;
What do we do when we cross a road,
What do we do to the drivers, killing people without a sword…

By doing the above, the ten minutes we save,
We reach early to office or back home being so rave;
At office we while away the same time for a cup of tea,
At home we start cribbing over the traffic, as if reaching home was an emergency…

One fine day, I took a pledge, not to exceed 40(kmph),
I reached office @ 10(am) back home at 7.40(pm);
The very same day I rode simple & straight,
Surprisingly reached 15 minutes earlier, instead of my myth that I would get late…

Request you all for an Early Start,
Than to rip off our own or someone’s Family Apart…

Preserving a Life is costlier than - losing a Penny being Late;
From sending someone to the Graveyard,
It’s cheaper to spend a minute of Wait…

Mind It ... !


Diamonds lying in your pocket,
Property filed in your docket;
Now you may see thieves all around,
Oh ! You might even feel afraid, within this huge walled compound...

The one who steals,
Sees cops everywhere;
The one who is guilty,
Gets conscious of every stare...

The modern royal prince,
Sees a slave in each man;
The one being a pauper says,
There's nothing what he can...

A student questions the world across,
A teacher teaches each one;
A wealthy becomes so averse to loss,
A struggler loses out all the fun...

An employee rated high,
Feels on top of the seventh sky;
An employee rated low,
Loses all his cheerful glow...

A human in pain,
Feels there's nothing left to gain;
A human with a smile,
Feels awaited all the while...

A suffering with a man,
Holds him back from what he can;
A medal around his neck,
Makes him cheer so loud on the deck...

We fear what we see as tough,
We jump into the shallow seen pool;
We fear the path which seems to be rough,
We jump off a high wall, just to bunk our school...

We fear the dark forest within a dense night,
We enjoy the same in Sun;
The leopards & the tigers are the same both time,
Think ! It might prove to be quite some fun...

Let's now question what we learn:

We think - What we see ?
OR We see - What we think ?
