“Helplessness”
<><><><><>
A complete standstill !
Over and above our will !!
Once, twice or thrice everyday !
We may feel indisposed while in the way !!
Being helpless to stir or move ahead !
Getting bogged in the snarl-up blockade !!
Both sided traffic dash ex adverso !
With shoving and pushing to and fro !!
Old and inert Ry. X-ings or Red lights !
Bullock carts, camel carts invite iffy fights !!
All such hurdles and obstacles we face always !
Despite time-to-time likely breakage or damage !!
Everyday snarl-up not only disturbs human life !
But also compels people and nation to face strife !
It’s high time the Government ought to think over it !
To do any earliest possible solution fair and fit !!

A telling poem indeed. Commends.
But how & why will any real improvement in traffic congestion be brought about
The politicians & ministers in power don’t have to face it; their way is cleared by security in advance & prompt
As for policing authorities lower down in hierarchy traffic congestion is a boon for their corruption & clout..
Thanks a lot.
Ashwini,
very well described, conveying well feelings of frustration.
