Looters on road

Tricycle is the face of Indian transport

or say modern version of old rickshaw

We call it in short,auto

Its amazing how they take us through

the by lanes and heavy traffic

to our desired destination in comfort

Its our reply to the yellow cabs

But is it?

Everyone cant afford vehicles to travel

When it is urgent,we are forced

to rely on those autos

It can save us valuable time

As we can avoid every snailing buses

or other transport systems

But a breed of auto handlers

They think that we are at their mercy

We pay the money for the ride

We aren't approaching them for free ride

Government has fixed rates

Which i believe is reasonable

Now electronic meters are there

which give somewhat accurate readings

But they refuse to switch it on

Before they start the journey

We have to fight for our rights to travel

Is it our land or some other alien land?

As we are in urgent need,we succumb

to the demands,its our fault

Still,there is a limit for the greed

Even if they switch on the meter

In the end they fight to get more

than what the meter indicates

Its a shame that nobody cares

I lost count fighting rogue auto handlers

Who demand more than what they command

Authorities says,you complain to the cops

They will take action,

If actions are taken,then why aren't they changing?

One threatend,go and complain

Ive got lawyer,i will deal it there

Who will control these looters

Who loot the hapless commuters

Who rely these greedy morons

For urgent journeys

It seems we are destined

To fight every day with these looters

If you are lucky you can get away with bargain

if not you are destined to loose money

Or else you will loose precious time

And harassment in front of public

cos these looters don't have any shame
