Traders In Time

To and fro, up and down 
Traders in time in turns of toil
In bid of bliss and green- grounds
Tearful and gleeful, Cheerful and stressful
Hunt and hound for varied delights
 
Coming and going all the time
Voices of millions that vent all the way
In continuous cycles rushing along all day
Like busy ants saving for rainy days
And restless birds scurrying to perch

Streaming along day after day 
Gathering and making meaning of scraps 
They strut and thud
Putting up shades and hiding in tents 
Along this far-flung space

Via momentous hypes they swirl
Amid punctures of conflicts and catharsis
Till again their restless feet 
Weary out and others take their place
