Biker poem: moved from my orkut page

the heart which once flew free on two wheels...
can never stay caged, caged in a cage....


come sunrise, another dreary day
to work, from cage to cage in cage
sad is a biker minus his steed
the busy world pays no heed

no sunshine on chrome, so hard to rise
technology makes man pay its price
ridden by mind, what the heart once rode
driven by business, what passion once drove

one touch start, cruise control
auto gears and power to steer
detached from road, the heart thumps
unlike yore, alone it thumps

learning to love his gilded cage
his new steed, trusty though plain
she keeps him warm rain or shine
takes him there, minus the vibes

mind over matter says convention
the coming of age took out rebellion
the rebel has had his hair cut
his beard shaved for the corporate touch

that stays the same.. so unchanged
the heart which once flew free on two wheels
can never stay caged, caged in a cage

but it is.. :(
