Pillars, concrete, skyscrapers,
greens gobbled up by the greys
the natural rocky terrain
bulldozed recklessly,
fly overs crisscrossing
a congested mayhem prevails.
Erratic weather, hotter summers
whimsical moods of the rains
winters gone into hibernation,
the starry night sky enshrouded
under a perpetual veil of smog.
Commuters braving the
serpentine traffic lines
inching ahead at snails pace
blatant disregard to rules
patience a waning virtue
burdened by stress and chaos.
Calm and relaxed lifestyle
seems to be a dream of yore.
Where is my city heading to,
in the name of progress,
Can’t it see the deadly noose
waiting to choke it to death?
Please pardon my rant…..the result of getting stuck in a traffic jam for over 2 hours!
