Boarding On a City Bus To Reach My Destination

While I was standing here
To board on a city bus to my destination
The bus was stopped 'there'
In a distance from me

While I went 'there'
To somehow catch another bus,
That another bus was stopped
In the place where I previously stood!

With hectic pains in my leg
I start to run vigorously
Here and there
In an attempt to somehow catch a bus
At this very moment
The entire traffic on my route-
To my utter shock- 
Was abruptly stopped

Now I'm simply walking 
Towards my destination,
Accepting my destiny
On 'missed buses' and 'deserted routes'

I've learnt a lot,at this point in time,
That even the simple act of
Boarding and riding on a city bus
Is to be approved, beforehand,
By the invisible Divine Law
That's invisible but active
Forever and forever.
