The new car has come
A gift of benevolence
A tool for efficiency
A step closer to sufficiency?
Oh boy, I am free!
Freedom for mobility
Freedom from dependence
For a bus, for a ride, for a driver
Freedom from waiting
For a bus, for a ride, for a driver
Oh, for long 5 decades
And past several places
From this one want I kept me free
Never making it appear a need
Nor feeling the lack of it in-deed
Alas! Now I too can proudly share
The global pain of carbon snare
Not by saving, but by adding
As my own footprint* will planet bear!
Now that I have this cover
I move about in power
But realise that I am now dependent
on periodic maintenance
on regualr refuelling
on parking lots in the busy streets
and on thousands of fellow riders
whom I should care for not to harm
and whom I should fear for harming me!\
*True - on a regular wokring day, with the car in custody, 40 kms of run (pick up, drop off) saved!
