Leaning on an elbow
peering out a window.
View the road nearby
morning flying by.
People moving,
vehicles going
children running
horns are sounding
Busy on their own walks
each of them in journey ahead
what they do,where they go
who knows, who cares.
Want for a bright future
forgets to live todays.
we run,work , gain fortune,
but health deteriorates.
Thriving for better lives
makes us run very fast.
What happens if we decides
sure,do live in present.
Death a dangling blade
hangs on each one's head
Better for us live today,
tomorrows who can say .

Very good thought..we often forget about the realty.. and the truth..
Congrads dear..for the award!
This is good stuff, Rashmi.. You have very nicely stated the ways we handle life..
LOVED the end! That's the attitude to live with anyway...
Keep writing, my friend..
A great reminder for every one of us not to forget to live in the present! Thanks for sharing :)
very picture of life u have painted in words.
It always is a balancing act isn't it! In this poem you are trying to stay in the present, "where they go who knows who cares', yet in your magpie, you stress the importance of a foundation forged in one's youth! So where does that leave you? Read the map, but enjoy the journey, I guess.
