Do You Care

On the high way My side mirror recalls The object that appear Are closer then They seem to be… Yet so close we are Taking destiny for ride Many are a head and Many behind, on road Wondering in this city. Tales of 1000 souls I am one of them with little Blessing to share. My believe, My Prayers To Lord, is driven by Job My Visa, my rent, my bills Run in the veins of my day. Morning, I do open my eyes Only to report to job, My wife, my children and my God Await my return by night. I recall not, what I did last night When I slept, what my wife said, Not even my child’s smile Yet my 9 to 5 schedule is perfect Morning open with coffee on gas stations Traffic on highways, on city road Fines and radars, mobiles and overspend Frustrated yet have to drive a head Slow in fast lane with mobile on ear Or lady, prejudice it may seem But I recall it in my car, another Guy flying in his accord, reads a sign “just cruising”, damn with smile. Switching between channels, Some jams, some songs to hear Discussion VoiceBoards, interviews Money minutes, gold rates Some blast, some peace deals What a way, to say Good morning. Yet hope I am not fired today, As the morning news did say recession Job cuts and job losses, long leave Companies disappearing, stocks diving Face book blocked in offices Looks a gloomy day. Yet hope drives my day, a head Beyond my reach some time I finish my job, drive home, Just a pleasant look on my child A warm welcome from my wife Makes me human from machine. Taking deep breath of relieve I thank God, for all His mercy And pray for Goodness tomorrow And wish for all those left jobless Lay in the arms of beloved I dream, with hope for better Tomorrow.
