Road To Success Poem by Binayakumar Mohanty

The roads of the city
all connecting to
a place somewhere
not you,
not me
nobody knows.

Neither an astrologer
nor the traffic police
on duty
is aware of.

Despite,
you are never
allowed to cross
the zebra crossing,
always you should
keep to left
and never entitled to
take over fellow travelers.

You can not travel
without helmet or seat belt
You should follow the signals
at every traffic post
for your safety.

Though smarter, they say
the city
heaps of garbage
garbage of frustration
and failure
all over the road
riskier goes the city.

You should follow
the foot prints
of failure
to achieve success!
