These Days

by Arup Ganguly

These days people only eat and wear
Reading has taken a backseat
Railings look like harp
So many cars all around us
Some day if these start
Having minds of their own
And decide not to be driven by humans
Taking charge of their lives
They may choose to run over mankind
An end to the slavery
Then later on after a long time
They will start debating
Who created them and why
May be the way we do today
May be we've killed our God.

maybe we were cars of the bygone
maybe we lost our steam
maybe the cars of today are the humans of tommorow'
and will they end up the same way
why not then turn around and think
why at all we came here
what better way to move on
than to ponder and stay
lets be stationary and look
there are still other things that await our looks.
lets take a break from the slavery we serve
and go to the ground and look
there are still many small creatures that survive the dust.
