After years of unfinished projects;
failed promises;
unrealistic propaganda;
a promise unfulfilled
yet a man came and touched it
He commissioned it;
After years
The people rejoice
Finally the project approved
Behold and Behold ;
A railway;
Jubilee of favour;
The people rejoice
Showering praises;
People run inside
Traveling on it
A route from line A to B
suddenly boom!boom!
Glasses shattering;
The people in shock
Under duress’s;
calling on their;
creator name
On gun point
Many killed;
Others disabled
Regretting and lamenting
Others abducted
A man of his people;
now a killer of his people
A harmful favour!
A railway indeed

Isambard Kingdom Brunel came to mind with this poem. With progress there is destruction. Joy to one sadness to another. a most interesting write
Hmm true
A sensitive write of when modern transportation goes wrong and the consequences for the people that follow, nicely expressed and written
