Lonely Express Poem by Dr. Mahmud Firdaus

What time is it? is it morning or is it dark out there,
The only person sit, thinking does anyone care,
Time pass as it fits, events happen with no one to share.
Waiting for the train to come, never expect any less..
Choo! choo! here it comes,
Come on board to the lonely express.

Does anyone hear any noise? hush the seats are squeaking,
metal voices as the small wheel spinning,
alone in the convoys staring and thinking,
I'm just a small boy but where am I heading?
...Waiting for the train to stop, never expect any less..
On board in the lonely express.

First stop- Taman Paramount,
Door opened, whoosh.. breeze goes in there's no need to count,
No one is coming in they are not even out,
Sound of the door closing is just loud,
moving faster, silent that I can just shout,
I'm just a passenger, but where is my next whereabouts?
...Waiting for the train to get slower, never expect any less..
On board in the lonely express.

Next stop- Taman Bahagia,
Door opened, and I see a creature,
Furry four legged with eyes green in colour,
Pointy nose with a big tall figure,
What is it? I can't tell
Or am I seeing things? I can't tell
It will be fair to have someone,
For I'm just a human meeting something swell
But its meaningless when there is no one to tell.

Next stop- Kelana Jaya,
Door opened, I would not expect less,
I am riding the lonely express,
How far will I go? and how long will I sit here?
For someone to stand at the door when it is clear,
And I can finally express my thoughts and feelings to someone real.
And life will be worthwhile having someone near,
And events and moments can be share together.

When is it I will wait,
Hoping I'm not dreaming and it is not too late,
Seating in the train with no train mate,
Carry weight on my shoulder from the bag.
I'm just a loner, what will I encounter next?
...Waiting for someone to be here, and never expect any less..
On board in the lonely express.
