LA Assignment: Poem

Life is like a journey,
that one makes in a car.
Sometimes you travel on a highway,
Sometimes on a lonely path.

The speed of one's car is ever changing,
It can be fast; it can be slow.
At times your car is plaqued by a punctured tire,
At times an engine failure.
It's up to you to fix it, and get a move on again.

Everyone drives a different car,
You decide the car you drive.
Some people take the fast lane,
Some people take the slow one.

Whether one drives a horse-carriage,
Or a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.
In the end, the car completely breaks down.
And the journey ends.

While everyone has the same destination,
your journey may well be different than mine.
