MORE TO WHAT MEETS THE EYE
#IglooOnHeat

There is more to what meets the eyes
A vendor who sees a prospective buyer
When a man with wallet counts a few foreign currencies
That don't trade with the home market
A vendor who wipes for a passer-by
And a passer-by who sees vendor's fruits
And hides at the corner
Phew! He whistles and runs away with them

There is more to what meets the eye
A drowning man who sees a life-saver
A diver swimming technically
A woman who saves life with a dine
Hey! Help me! Someone!
Hold my back! To the shores now!
Will you marry me?
Pause
For humanity
No! For business!
Man must die
For the eyes mean business

There is more to what meets the eye
Boom! Head on collision
Mr Saurus a truck driver approaching
A traffic police order an halt
Gosh! His truck misses the lane
On poor bridge into the deep river
His truck is swimming
Doof! Doof! Woooh!
A traffic police on duty
Jumping into the water
Few hours later
I was rescuing the driver
When an object almost swiped us
Loopholed media house
Kind police officer emergency an hero
Fame for the eyes

There is more to what meets the eye
More than what you can see
An officer on duty
Who sees the plates of the bulging chest
A driver who fears for her outdated license
Boss mama
Your license is out of date
Can we renew it
No! Can we just meet at the station
Two days left for your roadworthiness
Pleasure for the eyes

There is more to what meets the eye
An employee who sees a kind and generous employer
And an employer who sees a poor and needy employer
One who works till sunset
For a generous employer
Employer who says you work till darkness creeps in just to steal from him
More to what meets the eye
More than what you can't see
