24/7

24/7 Allow me that chance to call you, Allow me that chance to text you Let me be your alarm, Ticking every second The thought of you hitting the road, Frightens me And our roads in fact, Scares me These our pot-bellied men, Haven’t seen the need, To tar our pot-holes But on such trips, They fly Flying like a deer in pursuit of its life, And reaching to their destinations safely While my dear battles for her life, In mixed feelings How do you feel at the thought of someone close to you going for a longer trip? Especially when you know the situation involving road safety is very disturbing. Others have lost their loved ones in such accidents and it is very worrying. Although we don't pray for such misfortunes we need to be cautious and observant about these issues in the country.
