Headache?


Swirly-swirl-swirl
My head spins along with the thrill.
But the jeep commute was jammed and smoky.
Clock strikes 12 as the steam of the people's body,
made my sight seemed,
real-surreal-unreal.
As the driver reminded us to keep still,
snatchers are out from their hot molten grills.

Cellphones kept tucked on their respective bags,
to keep safe, when my patience was tested out.
Deafening honks from here-there-everywhere,
added to my headache so I tousled my hair.
The noise fought against shout of sweaty men,
blurting out cusswords again and again.
Claiming that the other was overtaking,
slow-paced or overreacting.
All denied yet al had lied.
Oh my head went swaying side by side by side.

The mefenamic take-in was ineffective,
4hrs had passed but my skull's still cracking.
Inside the jeep a malnourished child cried, salivating.
Is it because of hunger or word deficient anger?
Maybe his emaciated mama knows the answer.
But nonetheless it triggered me to ponder:
If crying is his way to bridge his sentiments out,
Will you feel the pain of earth if I burst in a shout?

And then the traffic ceased'¦
But my headache continued as pain had pleased.

Spin-o-spin-spin
My headache then saw death flashed someone a grin.
While passing a highway with fast zooms and brooms,
A heard headed kid ran towards his doom.
Whether the warning signboards appeared undeciphered to him,
Or he's just to brave to test his skills to its brim.
The incident has no doubt heighten my brain-split,
As my palms experienced massive cold-sweat.

So'¦

My headache was worsen in spite of the will
Of stopping my pain, and all the earth's ill.
Is my headache enough to show that I care?
Can I make a change or even gutsy to dare?
If every earth's problems injects pain in the head,
Our place will be full of people walking dead.
I took a sigh as the jeep stopped its wheel
Now I'm finally home thanks for the ride that made me feel.
Please let's do something and make a deal,
For my headache could be fake, but the earth's problem are real.
