STRANGER

 

STRANGER

Lost in a megapolis, unknown stay,

Searched for work opportunity way,

Moved to the local train bus stand,

Alone in busy transport demand,(1)

 

A place to ride, get down, and move,

Nobody bothers to notice showing,

Stand-alone at the mall evening,

The light helluva goods alluring, (2)

 

Galleries attract beeline laughter,

Grabbing selected items enamor,

Look at them exchange smiles,

Less spoken brushed aside styles, (3)

 

A city with a million people, stay,

Should we talk to strangers? way,

Buys done payment vanish soon,

Bystanders look amazed and feel boon, (4)

 

Alone among the crowd general,

The whole city witness faces murals,

Traveled overseas education ends,

Plum post career hardly befriends, (5)

 

The invisible barrier shrinks the mind,

Alien in the treasure island find,

Check identity visa passport fit,

Stranger in danger lacks unfit, (6)

 

Moved amidst village, amuse look,

Children laugh at point yet hook,

Dress differs, stranger no danger,

Loving, caring, gentle lives allure, (7)

 

Less persistent on name place,

Provide comfort, food, shelter, grace,

It happened citizens were suspicious,

Stranger very sight a few furious, (viii)

 

Think kidnappers of children hate,

Human commits deeds reciprocate,

Strangers heard through the news,

Saintly person unknown muse, (9)

 

Seen infinite faith humans mingle,

The person traveler walks single,

Last but not least, bus drivers,

The pilot of the flight or train savior, (10)

 

A stranger to all of us we trust,

Unfailingly love a stranger most,

Unfortunately, the situation is in danger,

But an evil person faced a stranger. (11)
