Taxi Driver

TAXI-DRIVER

I wait in the double-line
waiting for him or her to come
My engine purrs softly
as I see others waiting in line


The sky darkens slightly
and I hope he will arrive
I move forward slowly
to receive the chosen one


I am now the head of the line
as thousands follow behind
I have become the rightful leader
to welcome the chosen one


Here I see him coming
my disappointment causes alarm
My messenger wants a short trip
just to Kampung Glam


I have returned here
to become a follower again
Hoping my destiny will change
as i unravel the mystery again


Maybe the messenger will come and
show me a new destination far far away
so that I need not return
to queue up on this sad life again.
