I am a taxi-driver.

I am a taxi-driver

I am the boss of my office

I can go wherever

I decide to go

I can even sleep on my office 

When there is free time.

 

There is nobody to control me

I can control myself

I can control my taxi

I can control my life.

If I do not like to work

I need not plead 

For a day leave.

 

Far from the village

I’d been in this city

In search of my future

I sold goods at their store

I washed plates at their café

Finally, one day, I got

A taxi on my hand

As a destiny of my life

I know that,

Not all the roads are safe

Not all the days

Have fair weather

I enjoy driving

Crossing the humps.

 

 

I talk to many people,

The patient who has just been

Discharged from hospital

The body-builder who is in hurry

To reach the fitness club

I talk to their children

I smile to their parents

I can share my ride,

To anybody else

Whoever is ready

To accompany my travel.

 

I learned my ABC

When I sat on the driver’s seat

A for Accelerator

B for Brakes

C for Clutch

In this way- 

My first day class was over.

Being a student 

At the University of Life

I learned how to navigate the maps

How to explore the roads and houses

How to deal with the people

I learned their culture 

I learned their language.

 

A new beginning of life 

I experienced when

I stared ridesharing in the city.

I am a taxi-driver

I am the boss of my office

I can go wherever 

I decide to go,

Excuse me, gentleman

Do you need a taxi?
