Highway roads

Highway roads

A Poem by Tazeen Ahmed
"

ever thought while travelling on long journeys???

"

I plunk still to counter the deals

I have no objection to the vehicle that concedes

I am steadfast for I know no depart

my   destinations are desires of heart 

the wear and tear declares my past

for I have witnessed the majority so vast

during the day , woke by the optimism abide

the king showed up with pomposity and pride 

the band van threw its music aloud

down with the sweet chores so loud

the militia marched with esteem

with the determined roars so extreme

the cyclists flashed with speed

with the joy exceed

when the night was mysterious

the highway looked upon the sorrows of the  suspicious 

the protesters gushed the roads

with missiles of screech and scream aboard

the ambulance rushed with might and thrust

along with the pathetic trust

the beggar dragged his foot with frustration

for he was ignorant of his trail amid zip expectation

the thief struggled to scurry so  loony

cause his spirit was gloomy 

the truck dashed with arrogance

down the street with vigilance

You said a lot in the words. Left the reader with something to think about. Life is like a highway. Right or wrong turn will lead us to proper place. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Was my pleasure and you are welcome.
there is a part of me that related to that truck that ran into all those people in Germany....i felt that chaos...and the thoughts of the driver...as he pondered what he was going to do...

but i only saw that in a metaphorical way...we all seem to be driving that truck these days...accelerating towards our demise, in one way or another.

Most welcome :)
The way you put the vision of a highway that would normally be considered to have a mundane feature is beautiful. I like it.
