Analysis of Trainride



Choo choo goes the conductor
The exhilarating ride has begun,
The passengers eager and brimming with fun
The parents tearfully watch with pride
As the small plant grows up
The stalk shooting ever upwards and its leaves flourishing
Hmm where is that broad smile you started with?
The young oak has matured now,
And availing himself the endless sights
What incredible things are these floating marshmallows,
And all the more so for their wet cargo
How good it feels to sink in the deep mud
Ha getting dirty feels good!
The sights are endless the passengers bewitched
So what if they don't know how they’re moving
So what if they don't understand the wheels rotation
Or the omniscient conductors brooding station
So what if they feel bad to indulge in hedonistic pleasures
Theirs not to ask, theirs not question
Theirs not to unhinge the steady carriage
Whose weight is no heavier than the thoughts they dwell in
Wake up! Wake up! Someone is screaming
You're going towards the cliff, can you not see it?
Yet they laugh it off obliviously
Why question what you cannot see.
