Suffocated Cities

Unable to breathe 

Screams in agony 

The dwellers in cities 

They live in clouds

Full of toxic gases

Emitted by human greed

Trees can absorb some of it 

But they're replaced with 

Steel and concrete jungles

Rain forests are converted to 

Monoculture plantations

Different Paths

We disappeared to different worlds, 

Living lives of different dreams,

Our paths may never cross each other,

We are at a safe distance,

Content that we exist somewhere,

With no intent to enquire about how we are,

As there is no space for the past,

In the new love journey

Tribal Justice

He was frightened as his tribal folks,

Sorrounded him and stared with anger,

The tribal elders gave the verdict,

Hundred larrups to him,

For breaking the laws of the forest,

By allowing outsiders to steal the herbs,

And the methods of preparing medicines,

Their traditional wisdom is priceless, They passed it to the new generation, As per their tradition, With full faith in their youth

Pharma company gave him some money and alcohol,He succumbed to the greed

Army Selection

Time has passed for the rest,

They've reached the finishing point,

After running miles along the track,

As per the guidelines,Sweating profusely,

Soldiers showed the way to the victors,

Towards the next event,Another challange,

They've physically demanding tasks to complete,Before they can be assured,

Of a job in the army, To serve the nation and earn, Only the best get the chance

A Gaze at Sky

We gaze at sky full of stars,

Laying on the beach,

On full moon nights,

Listening to the tunes of waves,

We interpret star formations, 

We wait for shooting stars,

To make a wish,

We wish to build a glass roof at home,

To keep gazing at the stars,

While we lay on our bed
