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?
