 The Road Goes on Forever
- Nawrin Razzak
At the break of day, I saw the path
Its body laden with stone,
Void of any humanly wrath,
The road went ever on.

Years had passed, and then there were

Machines of mobility,
With their steel-forged eyes, they began to glare,
At the once tranquil city.

But the road went on, right of way,

Towards unknown lands of yore.
Leading the people from night to day,
From reality to lore.

The machines sped towards the road,

Their rubber legs on the track,
So they broke the order of code,
And they never did go back..

High towards the mountains’ exalt,

The road went ever on,
Its stony ways, now forged with asphalt,
Led the people to dawn.

Beneath the machines there lay the blood,

Of a vulnerable man alone,
There in the repellent, viscous mud,
The road had claimed its own.

The swain had died, the news ventured upon

The land of the vicious beings,
But the road did go ever on,
To continue with its teachings.

Why would the road slay a man,

To this day I will never know,
 For a road’s truth does span
Somewhere far over the rainbow.

They went on cruising, the machines of murder,

Over the far stretches of the lane,
Following their own rules of disorder,
Availing their own reign.

But amidst the chaos, there rose the ebullience,

Of the youth hidden in the path,
With their concealed and heavenly resilience,
The machines did they scathe.

The sound and light, truth and path,

And justice were all one,
Through the mountains of peace and wrath,
The youth ventured towards the sun.
