O, My Little Pumping Station

By Shahnaz Hassan

O, my little pumping station

wait, walk slow

I am unable to follow

your fast move

my steps are small and slow

I look up and down,

right and left,

before taking any steps

I am controlled by

the control room of my soul

listen to the command

of the authority too

the control room,

it says - to be patient

walk, but slow your rhythm.
