Life goes on

Last week on highway

By the side of my old home

A speeding car knocked down a young man.

As the people looked terrified,

The speeding car vanished,

Leaving a young girl to cry.

She stood by her husband’s,

Motionless body,

Shedding the teardrops for him.

But next day by morning

The same road looked normal,

Life there was flowing as usual.

People moved as if,

Nothing ever happened,

Except for the young man’s widow.

I too then realized,

The world would be like that,

And life would flow just like before.

This week on highway

I saw one more car crash

Near to my workplace in downtown.

It took one life at once,

Three men were wounded,

Leaving a household in pain.

Then also I realized,

Nothing ever changes,

Life would flow just like before.

Nothing ever changes

And nothing will be changing

Life would flow just like before

One who lost something

Would cry for a short while

But they too would move on in life

Life is a journey

Full of surprises

It’ll always flow just like before
