Simra Wahid Poet Ballad

The Train To Nowhere

The train to nowhere just reached the platform
Further down the tunnel, there is a storm
In a month or few, it will reach its destination
'til then you must seek for salvation 
Cause this train is part of mission of destruction
It goes on and on without any commands or instructions
Through the lands of ogres, sirens, griffins and even sphinx and Cerberus
Do not sit if you dream to live

Somewhere down its path
The train will take you for a bloodbath
You might think this is a lie
But, if you want to live, then sure do dive
And remember, only the foolish ones shall dare to survive

And finally the journey seems to end
Survivors await their family and friends
But are always met by none
Not the storm or the sun, not even the employees clad in fancy uniforms
Because they were all informed,
The train to nowhere just arrived at the platform
