A Shocking Traffic Experience Poem by Han Min Ohn

Today did I encounter a terrible experience
While driving on Pyae high way at 50 mph persistence.

An old monk was crossing the road without looking left or right
He seemed ignorant of things and even of greatest plight.

Honking him however did catch his attention at last
However his response to the warning was a dreadful cast.

Ran he quickly towards the direction of my car stupidly
To which I was steering to avoid collision with him preemptively.

In a frenzy of panic did I press on the brake without delay
At the same time pulling the car from the monk quickly away.

It was lucky for both me and the old monk that he was not hit
But the old monk was shocked by the event and on the road he sit.
