TOW ME AWAY

'TOW ME AWAY'

Sitting alone
one oldman there,
looks around
and feels very scared!

A car is parked
few feet away,
enjoying the cold breeze
his own way.

He is old,
but dressed well in a suit and tie.
Hair well combed
And shoes are just right.

Dark glasses are
hiding the glaring eyes.
Enjoying the looks of passer's by.

Sounds of vehicles
are breaking the thoughts.
Life once gone,
has left burnt thorns.

He is feeling the pricks
still fresh.
Remembering his youth
and best of past.

Dimness of light,
and slack old nerves.
Make him jittery,
And full of dearth.

He feels helpless,
And withered Rose.
Wait for every one
smartness gone.

Here comes his son
with loads of stuff
Yells at dad!
And tell hard words.

Why are you sitting
outside dad?
Someone would have towed the car.
(the car was parked in no parking zone)

Old man became alert
seathed with excitement.
oblivious of the surroundings, he said
Oh! Son it was hot so I sat outside

My old body is not able to take care of myself
then how about the car.
Praying to God he said, "Please tow me away to heaven! I will be happy!"
