walking on the road


On the road
Walking in the evening
When the cloudy weather permit
Many like minded people arrive

The evening draws the crowd
Of those who want to stay healthy
The misty haze quietly clearing
The air quality permissible

The house abandoned
Once it was renovated in stages
It wasn't done till today
It was said the owner caught for drug dealing

The overgrown creepers and plants
It will take control of the house in time
Believing the bank takes possession
Of loan hasn't repaid

The Plaza of shops
It isn't occupied today
It is in bad location
Unless turn it into a tuition centre

Now it is the gathering spot
Of young crowd jogging around the block
On a cool windy weather
These people will jog around

Some of the shop units
Run down with broken doors
Some use it to rear swift-lets
Without following procedures

As usual with the local council
They hardly check their bylaws
The neighbors don't complain
So everything is fine in the day

The cow dung
And dogs and cats poo
One misstep it goes along
On the road
