All are busy

In one thing and the other

Running after

One thing and the other

From the time they wake up

Till they go to bed

I'm more like anybody,
A common face however,
People refuse to recognize me.

The passer by get angry with me

Disappointed, I beg for the people

To listen to my voice,

But alas!

My voice is silenced in the noise pollution.

The rush of the clouds towards the forest

And the darkness ensuing

Till the rain falls.

It’s a hope for all the living creatures

Far and wide



Now,

The forests have disappeared

Somewhere…

And so disappeared the rain followed by

To seek union

As if made for each other



Things have changed a lot;

The trees of buildings have grown

Everywhere, the blue streams of roads

Have sprout like seedlings

And stretched to… Continue
