Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Free verse

Driving of a Busy Mind On a Busy Road

One hand on steering
The other hand steering beloved's knee,
One ear on cell phone,
The other ear listening to loud music,
One foot on accelerator,
The other on the brake.

Eyes on female pedestrians,
If a waving hand is seen for a lift
Stop the car, pile up freely
The more, the merrier
Conversation with someone in the car
Well I declare, welcome to India!
