The tough Gordens bus stop

Kina Securities Award for Poetry
Mechanical exhaust competes with acrid dust
as sour brake pad aroma compromises the air
all denaturing what the nose must
and the addicted smoker ignorantly puffs away
It’s all pleasure to the fare hungry bus crew
uncaring at the sweaty vendors effort
but keeps his rapping rhythm all through
to lure and outdo his competitors’ effort
with the sweat, dust, and thirst without shade
maintaining influence under scorching sun
travellers flow and hustle and bustle at this domestic gate
and petty thieves’ hands dying to grab and run
while lone introvert tin can man collects his loot
they dance to the drivers’ acceleration and hoot
Thanks bro Jimmy, we write each other up the stair case of literature. I wish us all the best!

Angra a great piece. Creating acute mental imagery of how the bus crew and how the scenario of Gordons looks. Authorities need to address the PMV issue and improve Gordons bus stop.
