Real Estate Poem by Sphoorthi Padmini Rangarajan

Real Estate

Missing all the tall trees along the roadside,
With no sign of free ride;
Blank roads surrounded by concrete trees
With no traces of bees;
Wind blows like a wild breeze,
Rising in temperature degrees;
Disappeared ponds and lakes,
Rests in building blocks;
Vanishing all the rocks,
Mocking mocks flocks around the clock;
With sense of ease and great talks,
Not realizing the threat causing at every walk;
Ancestors planted trees for us enjoy Woodstock,
We cleared trees, lakes, rocks and ponds;
Every human is now a landlord,
With twisted tongue of sword;
Selfish, self centered in store,
In the name of real estate and more;
Philanthropists call for tree plantation and conservations,
Authorities command on clearing trees towards road ideation;
Masses protests towards ‘SAVE TREES' causation,
Heard and unheard goes the nation;

Global summits, conclave with bold posters highlights for ‘Conservation'
Least implementation, regularization and transformation;
Agriculture is blocked by no ‘Agri-Culture',
Leading to lands conversation as ‘Real Estate Culture';
Popular faces promote the same for a handful payment,
To bring in more and more claimants;
Popularity grows and grows of promoters and builders,
With few still going to Medias, meetings and authorities hope to consider;
Still with a hope that we leave more trees and vegetation for future generation,
I close with pain with no clue or gain or no explanation
