A walk to rememberA Poem by SakshiI pick up my shawl
I wear my walking shoes I decide to take a stroll I walk ahead And take the right turn I walk on the dirty streets The big bungalows make me burn With envy and greed To want more and more As if I could own an ocean And never return to the shore I take the next turn I see the busy market Vendors in the mood To sell out all the packets I see the kids playing Riding their favourite bikes And housewives dressed to impress But talking about price hikes I smile and walk some more Locate some places of worship Wonder if I should pay my respects Or make a quick exit. I walk some more And hear some wedding bells Turn the other way round To avoid an encounter with hell. I see the sun setting down Behind the biggest hill I wish I could walk some more Or better, never to go against my will To walk away from this world To run away while I can Before they turn to me To change me from who I am! © 2013 SakshiReviews
