Cover image for post The Car, by Chora

The Car

Sputtering and clanking, stopped the old car,

From a foreign land it came suggested the dust,

But as I noticed on it meekly from afar,

I realized it wasn't dirt but sickening rust.

The rust made me think hard,

Was there a time when it was brand new?

Like you pick from a deck a new card,

Spots and marks on it are but few,

"Yes ofcourse", I said to myself,

Everything was once handsomely young,

But it also has a life of the shelf,

Where old become the songs that are sung,

The withered tires took a deep breath,

They thanked that the journey came to an end,

But alas, has gone their once shiny wealth,

That they though they could forever spend,

As soon as I came out of this thought,

I saw a person picking its lock,

Who would steal it in a state so wrought?

A better choice is to steal a rock,

When no one thought it could ever start,

The car roared in a manner fake,

When everyone thought it was worth tearing apart,

Another ride with destiny it had to take.
