Rush! Poem by Mary Amrutha

Everywhere I see people running
Everywhere I see people shouting
why everyone is in a hurry
for what all this rush is about

Hey sir, did you missed your Bus or train
or did you forget to turn off your showers?
for Gods sake can you all tell me
for what this rush is all about

Ah! no one is not even looking at me
nor telling why they are running
is there an elephant running after you?
or a tiger trying to kill you?
for Gods sake can any one tell me
what is going on..

Hey girl get out off my way
some one shouted at me
sorry for bothering you I said
but can you tell me why you all are running,
is there a tsunami coming?

he gave me a grave look
and said, don't you know girl?
I said, no.. no.. I don't know a thing
can you please tell me?

tomorrow is dry day
and I am running to get my bottle
for the next day..
I was shocked by what he said
and I watched him running to the nearest BAR...
