With the 21 day lockdown period starting in India, there are cases where rules are flouted and instructions are not adhered to. People going for morning and evening walks, vehicles commuting along roads every other second are a few common examples. This short poem(triolet) is inspired by one such instance.
Can you hear the engine revving
Up the deserted road, puffing with all its might
I want to ask the driver,” Where do you think you are going?”
Can you hear the engine revving
In sometime, I presume, he would be quietly withdrawing
But still, this is supposed to be complete lockdown, right?
Can you hear the engine revving
Up the deserted road, puffing with all its might
