More Coming

More coming
That's what he said 
In a brief exchange
we had this morning
More than eleven thousand
of them scattered in the city
Commissioned to drive taxi-cabs 
for the rest of their lives
More coming
He speaks with disgust
And intense anger inside
As if he was waiting on orders
to carry out a brutal slaughter
More coming
The holy month  intensify  his rage 
But he held his head down 
uttering strange sounds
hundreds of them with eyes fixed 
on the barren ground.
