Street Crossing

Crossing a street is not as simple as seen 
Ask from the one, through what all hardships he has been 
The speeding cars, the wild vehicles 
The horns firing, amid which you can't hear your own shout. 
The first step tells that you've decided 
That you'll take short but a strenuous way 
That you're determined to face any situation 
And that you've payed no heed to the ZEBRA CROSSING 

In the halfway of your hike, you stand alone 
Eyeing on your target and not what you've done before 
Supposedly phone rings, and it's an important call you've to pick 
Meanwhile, a rushing car is approaching to kick 
Instantly you jump hither and thither to save your life 
But keep heading towards the end line 

The last initiation left, the rest walk done 
Still chances are present that vehicles finish you up 
Need to be concentrated to end your run successfully 
Else you'll find yourself again at the start.
