BIZARRE
It was a regular, common bazaar.
The scenes were pretty common.
People jostled, traded and tricked
Vehicles screeched or crashed head on.
Traders busy enticing customers
Buyers trying to cheat in turn
Goods adulterated- genuinely fake
Bribed inspectors giving quality certificates
The cars routinely hit n run
The tongawallah kept spurring the horse
Pedestrians dutifully jumped traffic signals
The autos plied with meters altered
Accidents happened every five seconds
Angry altercation- lethargic public response
The traffic jammed for long long hours
Beggars, pickpockets also got a chance
Thus the bazaar was abuzz with routine zeal
Cacophony, treachery, slyness solidaire
A young child was spotted feeding a stray dog
Totally discordant the scene was bizarre.
