We see what we want to see

The platforms were crowded with flies
Hawkers, vomit, flowers, papers
One could not walk – only amble
You have to walk with buses and vans
Anytime anything can go wrong
A hooting car can come from back
Can shake you off balance
Throw you into a pit nearby
And push you into the next world
With the ease of a God.

But all these things need not happen
You can reach home safely
Day after day, year after year.

Everyone sees, and does not see
They manage each other with comfort
Only at time things go wrong.

The thing is, do people walk?
