Level Crossing

Are you calling me to stop here? Alright! I’ve pressed my feet on brakes, Behind me, red eyes burning brightly. Is journey finished here? Then let it be so! Seats are luxurious, Comfortable to sit. I was sunk in sweet dreams. I had forgotten my duties and responsibility. Journey ends here, Would it mean so? Now, I’ve stopped near the level crossing It seems temporary halting. Some of them are talking: ‘It was real life drama! Others are thinking, it’s a race!’ If that’s true, Would this dramatic sequence of life end here? Is it right to do so? I don’t like your philosophy Don’t agree to accept it. I know you analyze things better Also know how to demoralize me You always reject whatever I like But in every problem, There’s a solution in disguise! And we can solve it amicably. An iron bar, I know, has torn our road straight apart. I am cruelly pinned to one end of this prehistoric road, At the other end you are torturing me I can’t tolerate your emotional tyranny anymore. I can’t also disobey laws of my fate can't withdraw myself. Unanimously we can change us! Are you telling me to stop here? Ear rings that were hanging in your ears have now tied my legs tightly This cruel time has caged me I am screaming hopelessly Memories are now dancing phantoms! Steering is moving like wheels of fortune on your hands, I’m waiting for your answers. Suddenly, someone whistled The iron rod lifted up our roads are ready to be joined Doors of thousand rooms are now opened. Are you calling me to enter?
