The Train

Steps can be heard clearly starting from the dawn, commuters compete one another to pass its door

They bump into each other, they push others, they use their elbows to rid their competitors

They run chasing its pace, they don't wanna be late, it is their morning routines to catch up with it

I am one of those people joining the crowds to enter this mass transportation

I choose to enter the chambers that are designed for women because I don't wanna meet with sick molesters who look for their victims in general rooms

I hope I can stand properly, I hope I can breathe regularly; but all goes unwell, my legs are limp and trembling following the flow of the waves, my breath is irregular for I can't inhale fresh air

Guess what, women are not again women when they are trapped, when they are disturbed, when they are pressured, when they are attacked

They lose their tenderness, their smiles are wiped out, their hearts are missing

No such thing as sympathies or empathy, everyone turns to be devils

They are willing to fracture others' bones as long as they can get seats or at least stand comfortably

We can call the situation inside this transportation as a little hell, it is super hot when the air conditioner can't function well

Numerous scents can be smelled; breaths from mouths, sweats from armpits, stinks from shoes, farts, etc

Totally disgusting but people don't have many options, they still have to choose this transportation

Many people are squeezed and pressed; only inches separating between someone and the other one

They use their big bags to purposely hit others or simply get bigger spaces so they can breathe well while others get pinned between people's bodies and the poles

Some of the people faint, some of them fight to get the seats, some of them argue because they don't wanna be asphyxiated by others' masses 

There are some priority seats prepared for pregnant women, aged people, and the handicapped ones

But, seems like no mercies or privileges given for them when everyone feels like they are the most tired persons in this world so they have to be the ones who get the seats

Evil, everyone has this adjective with them in this transportation

And women, they lose their angelic traits when they smirk seeing other women are suffering

The train, the transportation that can make everyone become crooks

The train, the transportation that can suck people's energies

The train, the transportation that can make people come late to work and go home late when its machine gets some troubles

The train, the transportation that can make individualistic sides of people become worse

The train, the transportation that can make people bet their lives to just enter it and don't care if their bodies get crushed by its automatic doors or make them fall outside the train and make them die

The train, the not humane mass transportation
