Post office

Winter morning,
Minus cold outside; i started a journey to nowhere.
Took all the letters of my friend who never came back home.

Walking on the road, i saw a dead animal on the road side.
Died due to hunger
It's chaotic everywhere.

Reached at four way crossing, and saw 
Three four auto drivers and one car driver fighting.
It's slippery road and they met with an accident
It's hard to see angry faces.

Slowly slowly walking towards the destination
Steam coming out of my mouth,
Bag on my left shoulder
Pheran till my knees.

It's very hard to carry such load
Memories and countless words
Which never reached to the one 
Who waited long to read and know about it.

I entered into an old building.
Last, when did it open 
Hardly anybody knows!
Red mail box without a lock and hundreds of letters scattered around it.

Old dusty machines
Millions of stamps 
Thousands of postcards
And no one to write to their loved ones.

Saddened in pain and agony
I came out of the building
Looking at the board hovering on it's second story; writes
The post office is closed for indefinite period.

They betrayed us...
