Poems.......
Hop on a free ride
The train leaves on an unsightly hour
Leave your baggages behind
cos this train's destination provides everything
No, don't dilly dally, don't hunt for your friends
This train comes once in a lifetime,
and once this train is gone, you will be lost on your own
But you say, "But why can't I walk?
I want to breathe in fresh air, experience nature.
And if you give me a map, I can get there on my own"
The conductor looks at you with sadness in his eyes.
He gets onto the train and leaves you behind.
but not before leaving you a map
You open it and an empty map spreads out before u.
You raise your head to curse at him
But the scene that fills your vision
and clouds out the sun
Is of a train flying on wings rising towards the heavens
And u realise, you gave up a one way ticket destination [heaven]
for a walk on earth
