A Stop Too Expensive - Journey of a Train that never stops.

The staff of the train took pride,
saying that it has the smoothest ride.

It was moving on a journey,
which was a large distance,
destined to follow the schedule.

The train was restless,
However, the journey was not aimless.

Something peculiar appeared of this train,
Others, would carry passengers and weights
but this one had none, for the crew said
the train never makes a stop.

It continues its voyage, with an aim
It continues on its lone journey,
For the train knew that, each minute wasted,
was a lost opportunity, which would never be tasted

It was a self-sufficient train,
the type which runs in snow, sun, storm or rain.

There was this one time though,
the crew recalled, not so long ago
"One" boarded train, promising to join till the end,
for that one...the rules were bend,
something never done before,
many protested, many contested,
but the train had left the station behind.

As the journey went, "one" began to realize,
nothing special 'bout it, its all lies,
First time in history, train was stopped,
so that "one" could be dropped.

Whats happening? asked the crew
The silence left them with no clue.

They waited, morning, evening, night & day,
in hopes which couldn't let them go away.

The passenger never arrived, they said,
despite of all the hopes they laid,
Crew master was all enraged,
He felt the train was caged.

Each second of stop it made,
Goodbye! opportunities were bade.
Everyone realized, their wrong
but eventually it made them all strong.

Train continued, never to stop now,
still, "One" was worth a bow.
Each second lost, attached itself with more cost.
Too expensive was that stop,
Never again would it be done, as they wish to be on the top.
