Crawls fast at the behest of motors,
Running on the way like an anaconda,
Up hills, on plains or down slopes, it goes,
Intentional for a long time commiting no crime,
Step after step, and gear after gear, I hear the
engine rattle with all efforts purposefully;
Readiness and firmness matter to her.
Craves to go places for reasons in seasons
Rejoices while the tires engage in friction
Understands self more than the manufacturer.
Intimidates others while on the tarmac
Sends waves on the air showcasing bravery
Endeavors to match on fruitfully and aiming to
Reach destinations safely.
