THE FERRIS WHEEL

There we go again!

The ride had just started.

The breeze is fresh.

The ride, fun!

The flow was correct, the tempo steady.

Mode : Auto pilot, just switched on!

Out of nowhere, it just stops!

No conversations entertained.

It just did.

Everyone had their reasons.

No one really cared,

For the person stuck in mid air!

They will figure it out, they said

They will find a way.

We have no option, right now, they said.

The power bills are too much to pay.

We said we are stuck in limbo.

But they said they couldn't hear us from down below. Then shrugged their shoulders. Callously.

We screamed more,

to no one in sight!

When we looked, we saw...

Not a soul in place.

They had vanished from the playground.

To find a new circus.

No one cared that

We were dangling mid air!

The carnival was like us,

Deserted.

Off On. Off On.

The Ferris Wheel of professional life!

The On Breezy, the Off, just hanging in the air!
