Just for a Ticket to Ride

Inspired during the longwait at the ticket counter
Serpentine queue
confusion ensue
Unbearable milieu
As rings of smoke engulf you.
Waiting in line for an hour
my mood gone sour
LINK FAILURE
stares at my face from the counter
As the man sitting there
leaves the room in a saunter.
One step forward
two steps behind
I asked myself
when a few days later
I was greeted with a repeat
ordeal that is the same
And it seemed to me
that standing in a ticket queue
in my country
is just another tantalising game.
Marching into twenty-first century
with IT professionals galore
wither basic services
ought to be deplored.
Who will plead on our behalf?
ensure proper implementation
rid software of bugs
unanswered questions
As hapless passengers wait optimistically
expecting a divinely intervention?
an end to their woes
Almighty, are you listening?
What stayed with you?
A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
